When are the Approach Lights activated?

Explanation:
Approach lights come on to assist you during the final approach, giving you a visual reference path as you near the runway. The system is gated by the airplane’s landing configuration while it’s still airborne: all landing gear are down and locked and weight is off wheels. This combination signals that you’re on the approach phase and not yet on the ground, so the lights illuminate to guide you in. They aren’t activated simply by flap position or by speed alone, and they’re not tied to after-landing conditions.
