You observe a manned aircraft in the distance while flying your drone at night. On the left, you see a red light. On the right, you see a green light. What is the direction of the aircraft's heading? Question 2Answer a. it depends on how bright the lights are b. it’s heading away from you c. it’s heading towards you

1. Break Down the Problem

   • Identify the position of the lights on the aircraft.
   • Determine the standard aviation light configuration.

2. Relevant Concepts

   • In aviation, the navigation lights on an aircraft are configured as follows:
     • Red light on the left wing (port side).
     • Green light on the right wing (starboard side).
   • These lights help determine the direction an aircraft is facing, especially at night.

3. Analysis and Detail

   • If you see the red light on the left and the green light on the right, it means you are looking at the aircraft from the front.
   • This is because the red light is always on the left wing and the green light is on the right wing when facing forward.

4. Verify and Summarize

   • Verify the light configuration: Red on the left, Green on the right.
   • This configuration confirms that the aircraft is facing towards you.

Final Answer

c. it’s heading towards you
