Do the N Numbers need to = be visible/distinguishable from a certain minimum distance? Black marks = on a white airframe might be most visible from a distance compared to = light cream colored marks on a white airframe. I plan to have pretty basic contrasting N Numbers on 4ZQ for the = inspection but what about down the road when I get a bit more creative? = I wonder if any color combinations have actually been rejected by FAA.
