equivalents) for that type of operation, and those instruments and items
of
equipment are in operable condition.
(b) Visual-flight rules (day).

(1) Instruments and equipment specified in paragraph (b) of this
section.
(2) Approved position lights.
(3) An approved aviation red or aviation white anticollision light
system
on all U.S.-registered civil aircraft. Anticollision light systems
initially
installed after August 11, 1971, on aircraft for which a type
certificate

issued or applied for before August 11, 1971, must at least meet the
anticollision light standards of part 23, 25, 27, or 29 of this chapter,
as

color
may
be either aviation red or aviation white. In the event of failure of any
light of the anticollision light system, operations with the aircraft
may be
continued to a stop where repairs or replacement can be made.
