A method includes obtaining, at an unmanned aerial vehicle (110), a flight plan for the unmanned aerial vehicle (110). The flight plan is based on an aircraft type of an aircraft (102) to be inspected. The method also includes coordinating, with a lighting control device (150) onboard the aircraft (102), activation of a particular exterior light (104A-104I) of the aircraft based on the flight plan such that the particular exterior light activates or deactivates when a particular sensor (126) of the one or more sensors is located (i.e., positioned and oriented) to perform a sensing operation on the particular exterior light (104A-104I). The method further includes performing the sensing operation on the particular exterior light using the particular sensor. The method also includes determining a functionality metric associated with the particular exterior light based on the sensing operation.
