Where are the beacon lights located?

The beacon lights on an A320 are positioned at the top and bottom of the fuselage to enhance visibility and safety during operations. These lights help indicate the aircraft's presence to other aircraft and ground personnel, especially in low visibility conditions. The top beacon light is typically mounted on the upper fuselage, while the bottom light is located on the belly of the aircraft. This strategic placement ensures that the lights can be seen from various angles, thereby increasing the aircraft's visibility from both the air and the ground.

Other locations such as the wings, near the engines, or only at the tail section do not accommodate the requirement for maximum visibility covered by the beacon lights, which is the primary function of those specific lights.
