Which lights are necessary to avoid during operations on the boat?

Anti-collision lights are crucial during boat operations because they serve a significant safety purpose. These lights are designed to make aircraft more visible to avoid collisions, especially in a busy maritime environment. When conducting operations on the boat, however, these lights can create significant glare and impair the vision of personnel on the deck or in the vicinity, potentially leading to dangerous situations. Therefore, it is standard practice to avoid using anti-collision lights during specific operations on the boat to ensure safe and clear visibility for all personnel involved.

The other types of lights, such as taxi lights, spotlight, and landing lights, serve different purposes and are typically allowed during certain operations to ensure that the aircraft can navigate and land safely. Each of these lights plays a role in its respective function but does not necessarily create the same level of concern regarding visibility and safety as anti-collision lights do under operation conditions on the boat.
