Flying at FL100, NAV lights, Cruise under FL100 & TurboProp start

[Yann Collas]

Hi guys,

Firstly, congratulations to Dan and his team for this incredible work. It's for me the best add on ever made. Again congratulations !
I'am a FsP addicted now I can't stay a day without flying and make money ;-) Thanks Dan.

I have three questions to avoid penalties :

- If I choose FL100 for cruise. May I have landing lights on ?
- Can I let NAV lights already ON from dark and cold cockpit to shutdown at destination gate ?
- I made several flights under FL100 and let landing lights on to avoid penalties. Am I right or not ?
- As said on this forum, starting up a turboprop cause penalties due to 100% RPM at first start on brakes, can we switch off parking
brakes and brake with the brake used while moving the aircraft before start up without penaties while waiting for the update ?

Thanks for your answers.

Hi Yann,

Don't worry about the landing light penalty at 10'000. Technically, they should be turned of at that altitude but the penalty doesn't kick in
until 12'000 (safety marging for aircraft on a climb). On the way down, you're safe until 8'000 with the light off. Yes, it should be left on at or
below 9'999.

For the nav lights, I don't think it matter but you can always try it. I personnally turn them on as as I'm ready to taxi and turn them off when
I'm about to shutdown at destination.

Yes, you can apply pedal brakes with 100% power without penalty.

Can I let NAV lights already ON from dark and cold cockpit to shutdown at destination gate ?

That would be normal procedure, yes. We had an extensive discussion about lights in the support forum (I think) were Brad (SWA pilot) gave a good
insight into real world light procedures. Having the nav lights on all the time was part of them.
