Answer 3

Airplanes don't have "headlights" as such; they are not arranged the way car headlights are.

Airplanes have landing lights, which are turned on to make the airplane more visible to other airplanes.  Airliners are required to turn their landing lights on when flying below 10,000 feet, day or night.

Doesn't have 'head lights' it has landing lights, which it uses when landing at any time of the day.

Landing lights are switched on on final approach.

They have strobe and nav lights which are also used all day. Air traffic control and their instruments tell them where the other aircraft are.

Dimmers and their rear-view mirrors.
