Approach at night without landing lights
Recently I saw a QF 767 approaching Perth at night without landing lights. He got to within 100 or so meters from the runway before conducting a go-around. I'm told the go-around was due to a Virgin 737 still on the runway.
I have seen several times in the past where aircraft approach at night without landing lights and then turn them on at the last minute.
I'm just wondering if anyone knows why this is done as I was under the impression that landing lights are supposed to be used below 10,000ft.
