E190 poor design

All I know is flying into EVERY major airport on the West Coast...when taxiing onto the runway for takeoff, the strobes come on. If you line up and wait, then it's just strobes...when cleared for takeoff, landing and flare lights come on. (Unless you're Alaska...they turn EVERYTHING on when going onto the runway, cleared for takeoff or not...something about flying in Alaska).

Just my observation.

The weird thing though is there are only two of you arguing against using strobes while holding in position and the rest seem to be for it. I'm a self admited courtesy nazi. Like people blinding you from the opposite side of the runway, strobe use any where but the active drives me crazy. Pilots using a ton of breakaway thrust when it's just not needed, or if there is two directions to turn, pilots that put their blast towards people or hangars. I could go on and on about the lack of courtesy in aviation. I just feel this one time safety trumps courtesy. I feel that lighting up when crossing or holding on an active runway is a good thing. People I fly with feel the same way. The lack of lighting in the lax accident was sighted and is where this procedure comes from. Since the lax accident I don't believe one like it has happened again. Is it because of people lighting up while on a runway? Not sure, but for now I think I'll keep doing it.

Since strobe lights clearly annoy the beejezis out of you, I'll be turning mine on crossing the line just to make sure you're annoyed enough to notice my airplane is there, and so you won't hit it.

That's how it is everywhere. If I'm seen as a robo-pilot by the minority for following the procedure, I'm not losing any sleep.

I sleep very well, thank you! Hahahaha, for me, turning on those lights is my way of making sure I've been cleared onto the run. Do ya'll turn on the "Taxi" light when cleared to land, or is that just a technique used here?

The other turboprop drivers on the west coast ...Q4-hundy's!

I heard @Alchemy was tossing strobes and lights on like a boss in JFK last night.

Crossing runways, Lining up and waiting.

Flipped taxi lights on to indicate aircraft movement.

Thanks.

The ones that go to the full NTSB are easy to find, but I have yet to figure out how to dig out the ones that stop at the ALJ level.

We do that, but we did take a lot of your company's old airplanes and basically stole their book on how to fly the thing too. I'm sure that a lot of what we do was carried over from your company.

I'm glad you're keepin the ole girls flying well, and that someone like yourself is treating them right. Those Q200's were good workhorses for us, so hopefully they're carrying on that tradition for you!

Yep. We were actually doing some research as far as case history and ran into the same problem. Most ALJ level decisions seem to either be sealed or just not published. All I have is a statement finding the FAA in the wrong (the issue pertained to visual pattern entry out of all things) but there doesn't seem to be any official decision issued.

For those of you who don't have the luxury of sitting in a major metropolitan airport where some members here try to validate their argument, here is a a video I've found:
