| Jan 20, 2018 at 6:42 | comment | added | reirab | @Mazura Brake lights are so other vehicles know that you're about to slow down or stop, possibly very quickly. Headlights, tail lights, and parking lights are the road vehicle equivalents of navigation lights. Turn signals, brake lights, and backup lights don't really have equivalents on aircraft because they're generally not needed. Airplanes don't taxi quickly, nor do they stop or turn quickly while taxiing. Also, most aircraft moving on the taxiways are in radio communication with each other, so they frequently already know each other's intentions. | |
