light panelty again

[CowlFlapsOpen]

I had this question as well. I knew the formal requirements but the actual triggers eluded me. I was becoming obsessed with getting the strobes and
landing lights off while moving within the dozen feet that exist between leaving the rwy and crossing the hold short line to clear the runway and
vice versa. Looks like it is much simpler, To summarize:

"if you are on the ground (or in the air below 10K) and travelling at more than 60kts, both strobe and landing lights must be on ("you are NOT
taxiing, buddy, you are taking off!") and if you have the parking brake on--anywhere or any time--both lights must be off. beacon must be on whenever
an engine is running. "

Is that about right? I think I got caught once in a while because after I clear the runway, I stop for a moment and put the parking break on to
contact ground, consult the airport diagram of taxiways, and clean up the airplane (flaps, xpndr, lights, lean for taxi/change condition levers to
low idle, etc.).

Truthfully, sometimes I get the penalty because the program simply misses that I have flipped the switch (I don't use the keyboard and have my switch
panel on a second monitor). I think it occurs when the CPU is really busy and frame rates are low. But it is rare.
