If you are one of the many pilots who enjoy night flying, you may see some changes in the lighting that helps you see towers and obstructions in low-light conditions.
FAA Makes Simple Changes to Save Birds
Key Takeaways:

- This change is primarily aimed at significantly reducing bird fatalities, as research indicates birds are less attracted to flashing lights than steady ones.
- The new flashing light configurations have been found to provide acceptable warnings for pilots and will be featured in new tower installations, with existing towers encouraged to adopt them.
