The present invention is an aircraft lighting system. In particular, the present invention is directed to an aircraft lighting system with light that is directed toward an aircraft's engines to deter bird strikes. The lighting system for a jet-powered aircraft has at least one light mounted on an aircraft fuselage aimed at an engine inlet of an engine nacelle of the aircraft. The illumination from the light comprises ultraviolet light between 300 and 400 nm in wavelength and the light flashes at a pre-determined frequency preferably between 1 and 3 Hz. Additional lights can be mounted on the engine nacelles to illuminate outer engine nacelles. Preferably, the engine of the aircraft also has blades coated in fluorescent or iridescent paint to increase the reflectivity of the blades to further illuminate the blades of the engine. The lighting system preferably automatically illuminates the engine inlets during take-off and descent.
