We light up everything but retractable lights below 18,000 feet. See and be seen!
Retractable lights are extended below 250 knots (too much rumble).
Only captains taxi aircraft?

Now if we can only get guys to start using the logo lights again. Although the AMTs don't like it when you write them up INOP.

A pair of navs on an otherwise unlit area of the ramp are hard to pick out against background lights.

Lights are captain stuff on the Bro, since they're right over His (Her?) head. You can reach them easily unless you're short, but it's awkward.
You CAN taxi the Brasilia without nose wheel steering from the right seat, but until you get some practice it's a lurchy ride. Rudder pedal steering is more than adequate for high speeds though.
Eagle had this story, possibly apocryphal, in which a flow back busted his type ride, thinking that the beacon was on (switch down = on in all right thinking airplanes, but the 145 is backwards because Embraer). DFDR INOP on the EICAS, advanced the TLs and his simulator stopped.

The -120 -145 are "backwards" (in the sense that everything that Boeing does is right, Embraer switches are "up for on" on the overhead on those airplanes).

Strobes don't do crap for making an airplane visible in day VFR. Or even day marginal VFR. Landing, recog, wing, etc lights are where it's at. Pulse lights are even better.

several kilometers to the runway.
Kilometers? That Frenchiness rubbing off on you already?
I'm numerically bilingual.
Hell, even that guy running from @MikeD on the border can speak KM and MI, why an educated first-world nation steadfastly holds on to a dead unit of measurement is beyond me!

I got paid, trick! 164.34 x .45 and pretty fun to boot. You're just jelly because your nose wheel isn't ten feet behind your seat and there's no point of oversteering!
In rotary wing (real) aircraft, center is off, aft is on/overt/white, forward is on/covert/NVG compatible; on the overhead panel.
Silly FOs arguing........
Like two declawed overweight cats, eh?
A lot of noise and pantomiming, but at the end of the day, no one gets nary a scratch.

You mean there's no reason for RJ drivers to do the big airplane turn onto the runway?

Dude, you've got to practice to be an 'merican pilot.

When you're taking off on a 5000' runway with a 4800' balanced field length...yes.
Granted, I'm in the RJ's daddy, but whatever.

The RJ doesn't know who its daddy is, considering the number nuisance faults that pop up due to a poor upbringing and no father figure.
