Even if some of the links refer exclusively to ships and boats the same terminology is used with regard to airplanes.

Explanation:
Das Flugzeug besitzt verschieden Arten von Lichtern, wie schon im Kontext aufgeführt.
Anti-collision beacon/strobes
position lights (Rot=links, grün=rechts)
formation lights=an verschieden Positionen wie wing-tips, outside intakes, tail section, um dem Formationsflieger in der Nacht eine räumliche Lagedarstellung des Formationsführers zu geben.
Navigationslichter ist falsch.

Ausführlich könnte man es als aircraft exterior lighting (equipment) beschreiben.
Navigationslicht ist ein Quasi-Synonym zu Positionslicht.

neutral  Michél Dallaserra: "Navigation lights" ist der Oberbegriff für die verschiedenen Arten von Signallichtern und entspricht deshalb dem deutschen Begriff "Lichterführung"
