What is helicopter beacon?
Beacons
allow long-range identification for helicopters when they are further away from the landing site
. When selecting a beacon, two factors must be considered: The brightness for long range visibility and the light distribution to avoid the glare which can impair pilots’ vision.

Can humans see Magenta?
Magenta doesn’t exist because it has no wavelength; there’s no place for it on the spectrum
. The only reason we see it is because our brain doesn’t like having green (magenta’s complement) between purple and red, so it substitutes a new thing.
Do military planes have flashing lights?
Why do airplane lights flash?
Strobe lights are flashing white lights on the furthest left, right and, on larger aircraft and some smaller ones, back points of an aircraft. They are the brightest lights on the aircraft, and are used
to signal that an aircraft is entering or approaching an active runway, or for visibility in dark, clear sky
.
Why do pilots use red lights?

20 miles
away.
