Per AC 107-2A § 5.7.2, a remote pilot in command planning a night operation may rely on a manufacturer's statement that the aircraft's anti-collision lighting is visible for 3 statute miles, but the remote PIC —

Why: AC 107-2A § 5.7.2, p. 5-4, states that the remote pilot may rely upon manufacturer statements indicating the anti-collision lighting is visible for 3 statute miles, but the remote pilot ultimately remains responsible for verifying that the anti-collision lighting is operational, visible for 3 statute miles, and has a flash rate sufficient to avoid a collision at the operating location.

• The AC does not relieve the remote PIC of responsibility; reliance on the manufacturer's statement does not substitute for the PIC's own ultimate responsibility to verify the lighting's performance.
• Nothing in AC § 5.7.2 requires FAA-calibrated retesting before every flight; the remote PIC's obligation is to verify the lighting's performance at the operating location, not to conduct formal certified testing each time.
