Don't try it.. I grabbed the landing light switch as opposed to the taxi light switch (Bill has yet to get the touch and feel of these switches
correct) and there was Dan's authorties within the second or two it took me to get the landing lights back on. My company gave me a bad pilot bonus
(negative points) and we were fined by the authorities.
This feature must have been added in for the Euro operators flying Airbus. "Hello, authorities, yes this is Airbus 12345's landing light. The stupid
pilot turned me off and my altimeter stated that I was below 10,000 feet, the pilots name is Ken. Can you send him a fine for me. Really, that would
be cool, thanks. Landing light switch out." Or maybe this is why they tell us not to erase the CVR after shutdown. PNF: "Taxi light
switch off" nearsighted Captain: "Off" PNF: "Darn is Joe that was the Landing Lights." ...latter that day Authority
with headset plugged into CVR "Oh, Boy!" Leaves ticket on aircraft windshield.
