Okay, this may have already been answered above, but just to clarify I'm going to present an acutal situation that happened to me. I went for an aircraft checkout at an FBO and the beacon on the tail turned up being burnt out which I found during preflight. I notified the CFI doing my checkout and at first he was a bit hesitant, but then he said the wing strobes were sufficient for anticollision lights, hence the tail beacon was out before the flight began. Was this legal?

Very legal. You had lighted anti-collision lights.

[/ QUOTE ] I don't know. Remember: "not required" is only the first step of the 91.213 requirements. Was it deactivated and placarded with a notation made in the aircraft logs?

Well, that remains to be told. I'm kinda giving him the benefit of the doubt here. . .

No. All that happened was the CFI told me to make a note of it on the rental check-out sheet so it would be fixed later. Other than that we just flew without it.

[/ QUOTE ]Then it definitely happened in flight and you found out about it during your post-flight check.
