Hello. I just had a few questions.
- Do you turn off strobe lights in flight?
- Why do parked aircraft sometimes have their rudder turned to the side, is it just the wind? (will attach a photo for reference)

- No you don’t do that, not that I know of.
- Yes it can be the wind and also once the plane is shut down the hydraulics are shut off also I think.

1 No, you don’t turn your strobe lights off. If you had no lights how would you be spotted when flying overnight?
2 When the aircraft is turned off, some planes don’t keep the hydraulics to the control surfaces. So the wind just moves it around especially on larger aircraft.
