	* Landing lights should be off above 18,500 ft AGL during monitored climb and cruise phases.
	* A 500 ft sampling grace applies above that altitude, so a momentary reading at 18,501 ft does not trigger a fine. A high-altitude landing-light violation is first eligible above 19,000 ft AGL.

			== Fine Formula ==

			<code>Fine = category base amount × pay-rate multiplier × number of recorded errors</code>

			The multiplier uses the current career hourly pay rate and is capped between <b>0.75x</b> and <b>1.65x</b>. This is why the same rule can produce different dollar amounts for different pilots or companies.

			== Landing Lights ==

			Landing-light mistakes are always billed as a <b>lights</b> violation, never as a critical violation. FSFO uses the following monitored rules:

			* Landing lights must be on during monitored low-altitude airborne phases.
			* Landing lights should be off above 18,500 ft AGL during monitored climb and cruise phases.
