PIREP Aveo Posistrobe CP

I went with AeroLED with the following:
- nav position/strobes
- tail beacon/strobes
- both taxi lights/landing lights with wigwag

My plane is lit up brighter than a Christmas tree. With a 50,000 hr mtbf I just leve them all on and flashing (including nav/strobes) throughout entire flight....very seldom does ATC call out traffic where I see them before they see me, and I'm ok with that.

I've even had towers comment on my roll-out that I looked like a 747 coming for landing at night.

LEDs, with huge mean time before failure, should just be standard on all planes now...turn em on, and leave em on.

The folks at AeroLED are awesome to deal with....I had looked at Aveo, but they didn't have lights certified for our planes ready and AeroLED did...

If you do reach out to AeroLED, tell Susan you heard about them from a fellow Skymaster owner.
