(a) for a turbine-engine aircraft — from immediately before the engines are started until the time the engines are shut down at the end of the flight;
(b) for any other aircraft — from whichever of the following is the earlier, until the time the engines are shut down at the end of the flight:
 (i) as required by the aircraft's flight manual instructions; or
 (ii) from immediately after the engines are started.
       (4) For anti-collision light equipment comprising white strobe lights only, the lights must be displayed as follows:
(a) for a turbine-engine aircraft — from immediately before the engines are started until the time the engines are shut down at the end of the flight;
(b) for any other aircraft — from whichever of the following is the earlier, until the time the engines are shut down at the end of the flight:
 (i) as required by the aircraft's flight manual instructions; or
 (ii) from immediately after the engines are started.

(a) for the red beacon lights — in accordance with the requirements in subsection (3);
(b) for the white strobe lights — in accordance with the following:
           (i) if the aircraft, on its way to the runway from which it will take off, or on its way from the runway on which it has landed, crosses any other runway that is in use for take-offs or landings (an active runway) — while the aircraft is crossing the active runway;
           (ii) from the time the aircraft first enters the runway from which the aircraft will take off until the time the aircraft leaves the runway on which it has landed.
       (6) Subsections (3), (4) and (5) do not apply to an aircraft in an operation to the extent that:
(a) the pilot in command reasonably believes that, in the circumstances, reflection or glare from the anti-collision light system may cause a hazard to an aircraft; or
(b) a specific provision of another MOS expressly provides for occasions when particular lights need not be displayed.
Note   See, for example, section 12.09 of the Part 138 MOS: display of exterior lighting in an NVIS operation that is an aerial work operation. See also section 3.08 of this MOS.
