Landing Light SOP

Except, NEVER in the clouds at night!

Why? It's not a bad way to know you're actually =in= the clouds, and
not between layers or something.

Close to min decent or decision height or whereever you are you'll be
including a look out the windscreen as part of your scan. Look into a
well light cloud and your scan will have a hard time getting back on
instruments. Trust me on this one, you don't want to find out for
yourself.

Why do you like to harm your night vision in the clouds? I'm curious.
How bright do you keep your instrument panel while you do this?

Actually, come to think of it, I do it outside the clouds, to let me
know when I enter them.

Ahh, ok. That makes more sense than using landing lights (and strobes for
that matter) inside clouds.

Actually, an occasional strobe in clouds is a good way to see what they
are made of.
