Just before push back, I turn on beacon light, release brakes and shortly after start engines. This usually gives me no penalty points,
but sometimes it does with following text in the end-flight-report: "Beacon lights must be activated as soon as engines are running, you
forgot them. (-50)."
One parameter to detect that the pilot fails to turn on lights seems to be time. Could someone please tell me EXACTLY what the
parameters are to detect light setting failures in FsP ?
I am not asking about what anyone use to do, and what works and what does not work for them - I am just asking for the exact way FsP
deals with this penalty issue. Is it Dan that should answer or have anyone else from his crew the answer ??
Would highly appreciate an answer to get the right grasp of this annoying issue.
