LOL..once again from the top now. "Landing lights?"
However, the brightness of landing lights makes them useful for increasing the visibility of an aircraft to other pilots, and so pilots are often encouraged to keep their landing lights on while below certain altitudes or in crowded airspace.... One convention is for commercial aircraft to turn on their landing lights when changing flight levels.
...
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). According to CFR 14 and FAR Part 91.205, a landing light is required for all aircraft used in commercial operations at night.

There is nothing mechanically or in regulation that keeps pilots from using landing lights at any time during a flight.
No Legal Restrictions: Federal regulations (such as 14 CFR § 91.205) only require a landing light under specific circumstances—such as having one electric landing light if the aircraft is operated for hire at night. There is no law prohibiting their use at high altitudes or during the day.
FAA Recommendations (AIM): According to the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM § 4-3-24) under the "Operation Lights On" voluntary safety program, the FAA encourages pilots to use landing lights:
During takeoff (upon receiving clearance or starting the roll)
When operating below 10,000 feet (day or night)
Within 10 miles of an airport
In conditions of reduced visibility
In areas with expected bird activity
But sure, keep making purely semantic arguments, in the face of all facts. 9_9

Nothing low quality about her video. And no, navigation lights don't suddenly turn from green and red to white depending on the camera. You're making up fantasy shit to avoid believing in scary things again.
Not my problem if you can't see clear low quality video artifacts and have no idea how lower quality video light sensors work.
