Abstract

A method of determining operating conditions of an exterior aircraft light (2) comprising at least one light source (4) includes: operating the at least one light source (4) of the exterior aircraft light (2); repeatedly detecting light with a light detector (12), which is located at the exterior aircraft light (2) and configured for providing light detection values (I); determining a smallest light detection value (I<min>) provided by the light detector (12) within a first period of time, and storing said smallest light detection value (I<min>) as an element of a series of smallest light detection values (I<min>); and evaluating the light detection values (l) and the series of smallest light detection values (I<min>) for detecting erosion of an optical component (8) of the exterior aircraft light (2), for detecting the presence of ambient light (14) and/or for detecting the presence of fog and/or clouds (20) in front of the exterior aircraft light (2).
