Turn the rotating beacon on between sunrise and sunset when the reported ___.

Explanation:
The beacon is turned on during daylight when weather conditions fall below basic VFR minima. This helps pilots see and identify the airport more easily when ceilings or visibility are not sufficient for standard VFR flight, reducing the risk of missed approaches or encounters with the field. The trigger is the reported ceiling or visibility being below BVFR minima, not a pilot's request, an on‑approach situation, or a vague need deemed necessary.
