Section X. LIGHTING
2-75.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING.
Exterior lighting (fig. 2-37) consists of a navigation
light on the aft end of the aft portion of the vertical
stabilizer; one standard navigation light on the outside of
each wing tip pod; two strobe beacons, one on top of the
horizontal stabilizer (directly above the vertical stabilizer)
and one on the underside of the fuselage section; dual
landing lights and a taxi light mounted on the nose gear
assembly; a recognition light located in the outboard
leading edge of each wing; two ice lights, one light flush
mounted in each nacelle positioned to illuminate along
the leading edge of each outboard wing; and emergency
exit lights aft of the escape hatch and aft of the cabin
door.
a.
Navigation Lights. The navigation lights are
protected by the 5-ampere circuit breaker placarded
NAV on the overhead circuit breaker panel (fig. 2-9).
Control of the lights is provided by the switch placarded
NAV - ON, located on the overhead control panel (fig. 2-
15).
b.
Strobe Beacons. The strobe beacons are dual
intensity units. They are protected by the 15-ampere
circuit breaker placarded BCN on the overhead circuit
breaker panel (fig. 2-9). Control of the lights is provided
by a switch located on the overhead control panel
placarded BEACON - DAY - NIGHT (fig. 2-15). Placing
the switch in the DAY position will activate the high
intensity white section of the strobe lights for greater
visibility during daylight operation. Placing the switch in
the NIGHT position activates the lower intensity red
portion of the strobe lights.
c.
Recognition Lights. The recognition lights are
operated by the two-position switch placarded RECOG,
located in the pilot's subpanel. The lights provide a very
bright, steady illumination. They are protected by a 7.5-
ampere circuit breaker, located on, the overhead circuit
breaker panel (fig. 2-9).
d.
Landing/Taxi Lights. Dual landing lights and a
single taxi light are mounted on the nose gear assembly.
The lights are controlled by the switches placarded
LANDING and TAXI, located on the pilot's subpanel.
The landing light circuit is protected by the 5-ampere
circuit breaker placarded LANDING, located on the
overhead circuit breaker panel (fig. 2-9). The taxi light
circuit is protected by a 5-ampere circuit breaker
placarded TAXI, located on the overhead circuit breaker
panel (fig. 2-9). Landing/Taxi lights are automatically
turned off when the landing gear is retracted. The
landing lights and taxi light power circuits are protected
by
35-ampere
and
15-ampere
circuit
breakers,
respectively, located on the DC power distribution panel
beneath the aisleway forward of the main spar.
e.
Ice Lights. The ice lights circuit is protected by a
5-ampere circuit breaker placarded ICE on the overhead
circuit breaker panel (fig. 2-9). Control of the lights is
provided by a switch placarded ICE - ON on the
overhead control panel (fig. 2-15).
2-76.
INTERIOR LIGHTING.
Lighting systems are installed for use by the pilot
and copilot. The lighting systems in the cockpit are
provided with intensity controls on the overhead control
panel. A switch placarded MASTER - ON, located on
the overhead control panel in the COCKPIT LIGHTS
section (fig. 2-15), provides overall control for all engine
instrument lights, pilot's and copilot's instrument lights,
overhead panel lights, and subpanel lights. The switch
placarded IR FLOOD ON, located on the overhead
control panel (fig. 2-15), provides overall control for
instrument
panel,
glareshield,
and
pedestal
extension/cockpit lights.
a.
Cockpit Lighting.
(1)
Utility lights. Two utility lights are located
on the cockpit overhead to provide additional instrument
panel lighting, as required. The lights are protected by
the 7.5-ampere FLT INST circuit breaker, located on the
overhead circuit breaker panel (fig. 2-9). Variable light
intensity, for both lights is provided through the
INSTRUMENT PANEL rheostat, located in the IR
FLOOD LIGHTS switch section, on the overhead control
panel. Individual intensity control is provided by a switch
placarded BRT - DIM OFF, located on each utility light.
(2)
Glareshield lights. Lights are mounted in
the glareshield overhang along the top edge of the
instrument panel, providing overall instrument panel IR
illumination. The circuit is protected by a 5-ampere
circuit breaker placarded INST INDIRECT on the
overhead circuit breaker panel (fig. 2-9). Control is
provided
by
the
rheostat
switch
placarded
GLARESHIELD on the overhead control panel, located
in the IR FLOOD LIGHTS switch section (fig. 2-15).
Turning the control clockwise from OFF, illuminates the
lights and increases their brilliance.
(3)
Flood light. A single overhead cockpit
flood light is installed. This light provides overall IR
illumination of the entire cockpit area. The circuit is
protected by a 7.5-ampere circuit breaker placarded FLT
INST, located on the overhead circuit breaker panel (fig.
2-9). Control is provided by the rheostat/switch,
placarded PED EXT/COCKPIT, located in the IR
FLOOD LIGHTS switch section of the overhead control
panel (fig. 2-15). Turning the control clockwise from
OFF, illuminates the light and increases its brilliance.
