would have no way to reactivate the runway lights. I
decided to land in the reverse direction...
Posting of “on times” (5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc.) for
lighting on charts, airport guides, etc. would allow pilots
to determine how much time is left before shutoff of
runway lights in emergency electrical failures.
Some additional pre-flight reading might have saved
our reporter a lot of worry. The Airport/Facility
Directory indicates that this airport has pilot-controlled
Medium Intensity Runway Lighting (MIRL), an FAAapproved
system. The AIM explains that FAA-approved
lighting systems illuminate the lights for a period of 15
minutes from the time of the most recent activation.
The AIM suggests that, even when runway lights are
on, pilots should key their mikes seven times, to ensure
that the full 15-minute lighting duration is available.
“Dark Amid the Blaze of Noon”
– John Milton
An unusual solar eclipse was at the heart of the nearmidair
collision described in the next report.
■ We were cleared [down] to 7000 feet. [We] saw a light
twin directly in front of us, moving left to right...and the
First Officer immediately grabbed the yoke and rolled the
plane into a 20° left bank. We notified the Approach
Controller, who did not have the aircraft on radar.
At the time of the incident, a rare eclipse of the sun was
occurring, and we were told afterward there were many
targets on radar. We theorize that the light twin was a
sightseer of the eclipse, and in all probability never saw us.
In any lighting situation—daylight or dark—the key
concept is to “see-and-avoid.”

Altered States
Some well-intentioned friends thought they were doing
the next reporter a favor, by “helping” him get his
paperwork in order. The results left the reporter sick-atheart:
■ I noticed that my First Class medical certificate had
expired for First and Second Class privileges, and was
now basically a Third Class medical. I thought I needed a
First Class certificate to receive authorization to take an
ATP written exam. My friends suggested that I white-out
the date to change it to a ’95, which would make it appear
to be a First Class certificate. I said no, I would see if the
FAA would give me an authorization with a Third Class
certificate if everything else was in order.
In an effort to help me, my friends changed the date from
’94 to ’95. Not knowing this, I went to the FSDO and
showed them everything, whereupon they noticed the
alteration on the medical certificate. After some probing
questions from the Inspectors, I confessed that my nonaviation
friends had falsified my medical, not knowing the
consequences and the trouble they could get me into. The
FAA Inspectors were not very sympathetic, and said I
would be hearing from them.
I do have a new medical now, but am very worried what is
going to happen. I have my whole career ahead of me. I
hope that this can be resolved without major action being
taken against me.
Pilots and other aviation professionals can avoid this type
of situation by monitoring the expiration dates of their
medical certificates, flight reviews, and other date-limited
certifications. There may be a further need to educate
friends that the FAA takes a dim view of “whitewashed”
documents, regardless of how they came to be that way.
Falsification of certificates is a violation of
Federal law.
