What colors are the left and right wing tip position lights respectively?

• A. Left green, right red.
• B. Left white, right blue.
• C. Left red, right green.
• D. Left red, right white.

Answer: (C)

Wingtip position lights use a standardized color scheme to show aircraft orientation. The left wingtip carries a red light and the right wingtip a green light. This red-for-port and green-for-starboard setup helps other pilots quickly gauge which side of your airplane they’re seeing, especially at night or in poor visibility. White lights are used for tail lighting or anti-collision strobes, not for the wingtip position lights, so the correct arrangement is red on the left and green on the right.
