I live near a major airport and see commercial planes with huge front headlights shining in the night sky. What could they be good for way up in the sky, though? I get that when they are taking off/landing headlights are necessary. Why not give them lights like a boat, with a green in front and a red in back?
I was making the assumption that most people didn’t know what navigation lights, port, aft, etc mean and marker lights is just a general term that I hope most people understand. I am lazy and didn’t feel like explaining but you did a good job.
