detpilot, are you a CFI at WMU?
Thats what they tell me...
I left WMU in August and I never had the strobes on when taxiing in the Cirrus unless I was taxiing onto or across a runway.
They should always be on in the daytime. Congratz on the job, btw.
Last summer they said the use of the nav lights w/o the strobes was perfectly fine on the ground. Did they change things?
No change, however the "nav w/o strobe on the ground" is only for night time, because the strobes are distracting at night (The "safety of flight" loophole). However, no argument can be made that the strobes are disorienting during the day, so we've gotta use them.
