We had some "Chatauqua" jerk behind us in CVG the other night. Hey, our manual calls for strobes when taking the active position and hold.
And so I flipped 'em on. Over the radio "flash......flash.......flash......"
He's not a jerk, he's absolutely right. I always told my FOs on the CRJ not to turn on the strobes until gear up. Thankfully the 717 takes care of that for us.
He's a jerk. I sincerely hope that you never have to go through what happened in LA, since you run without the strobes on the runway. Always been #1, strobes to indicate you're on the active runway, from primary training on up. I also do it when given a taxi-across clearance on the runway.
It is annoying when crews turn the strobes on when holding in position on the runway. It's blinding and unnecessary.
I worked at his carrier, so I know their manuals. The book gives you an "out" by saying that the strobes don't have to be on if they provide a distraction.
The distraction would be for the crew of the airplane with the strobes on. (not others on the field) Generally it's for foggy or cloudy conditions, or maybe if the reflection was shooting back off the windshield of another airplaneI worked at his carrier, so I know their manuals.
