Do you use landing lights for takeoff?

In the United States, for example, landing lights are not required or used for many types of aircraft, but their use is strongly encouraged, both for take-off and landing and during any operations below 10,000 feet (3,000 m) or within ten nautical miles (19 km) of an airport (FAA AIM 4-3-23).

As the tail comes up, a force is applied to the top of the propeller. And since the propeller is spinning clockwise, that force is felt 90 degrees to the right. That forward-moving force, on the right side of the propeller, creates a yawing motion to the left.

It's for your own safety. If anything happens during take-off and landing - the most risky stages of every flight - then your eyes will already be used to the dark or the light outside, and you'll be able to react more quickly. That's also the reason why the lights in the cabin are dimmed for take-off and landing.

Passengers often ask for pens when they have to fill in their immigration cards and of course, you never see the pen again, so it's always better to have some extras.

To complete a safe landing, pilots must be able to see the runway at a specific decision height (DH) above the ground. A minimum horizontal visibility is also specified, called the Runway Visual Range, or RVR.

Use of visual entertainment such as movies, television programs, video games, etc., is not allowed for a flight crew as they are required to maintain visual scanning outside the aircraft, if able, for situational awareness and collision avoidance.

The simple answer is yes, pilots do, and are allowed to sleep during flight but there are strict rules controlling this practice. Pilots would only normally sleep on long haul flights, although sleep on short haul flights is permitted to avoid the effects of fatigue.

Approach lights are the first lights that pilot will 'reach' during landing. They are of white color, unidirectional, blinking or steady type of lights. Approach lights are located prior to the runway. Their main function is to 'show' in what direction the runway is.
