This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) establishes minimum performance standards for new equipment anticollision light systems.

This Aerospace Standard defines minimum light intensity in terms of “effective intensity” as defined in paragraph 3.5 of this standard and specified vertical and horizontal directions about the longitudinal and vertical axis of the airplane. It will also define flash rate and color for the anticollision light system.
