(4)
Flight instrument lights. Each individual
flight instrument contains internal lamps for illumination.
The circuit is protected by the 7.5-ampere circuit breaker
placarded FLT INST, located on the overhead circuit
breaker panel (fig. 2-9). Control is provided by the two
rheostat switches placarded PILOT INSTRUMENTS and
COPILOT INSTRUMENTS, located on the overhead
control panel (fig. 2-15). Turning the control clockwise
from OFF, illuminates the lights and increases their
brilliance.
(5)
Engine instrument lights. Each individual
engine
instrument
contains
internal
lamps
for
illumination. The circuit is protected by the 7.5-ampere
circuit breaker placarded FLT INST on the overhead
circuit breaker panel (fig. 2-9). Control is provided by
the rheostat switch placarded ENGINE INSTRUMENTS
on the overhead control panel (fig. 2-15). Turning the
control clockwise from OFF, illuminates the lights and
increases their brilliance.
(6)
Overhead panel lights. Lamps illuminating
the
overhead
circuit
breaker,
control,
and
fuel
management panels are protected by the 7.5-ampere
circuit breaker, placarded OVHD on the overhead circuit
breaker panel (fig. 2-9). Control is provided by the
rheostat switch placarded OVERHEAD PANEL, located
on the overhead control panel (fig. 2-15). Turning the
control clockwise from OFF, illuminates the lights and
increases their brilliance.
(7)
Subpanel and console lights. Lights on
the pilot's and copilot's subpanels, console edge-lighted
panels, mission control panel, and pedestal extension
panels are protected by the 7 5-ampere circuit breaker,
placarded SUBPNL & CONSOLE on the overhead
circuit breaker panel (fig. 2-9). Control is provided by
two rheostat switches placarded SUBPANEL and
CONSOLE on the overhead control panel (fig. 2-15).
Turning the controls clockwise from OFF, illuminates the
lights and increases their brilliance.
(8)
Free air temperature light. Two post lights
are mounted adjacent to the outside air temperature
gage on the left cockpit sidewall. The circuit is protected
by the 7.5-ampere circuit breaker placarded FLT INST
on the overhead circuit breaker panel (fig. 2-9). Control
is provided by a pushbutton switch adjacent to the gage.
Light intensity is not adjustable.
b.
Cabin Lighting.
(1)
Threshold and spar cover lights. A
threshold light is installed just above floor level on the
left side of the cabin, just inside the cabin door. A spar
cover
light is installed on the left side of the sunken aisle,
immediately aft of the main spar cover. Both circuits are
protected by a 5-ampere circuit breaker located in the
battery box, and are connected to the emergency battery
bus. Both lights are controlled by a switch mounted
adjacent to the threshold light. If the lights are
illuminated, closing the cabin door will automatically
extinguish them.
(2)
Cabin aisle lights. Three cabin aisle lights
are installed in the cabin aisle. Control is provided by
the CABIN LIGHTS BRIGHT - DIM switch located on
the pilot's subpanel.
(3)
Cabin utility lights. A utility light is located
adjacent to each overhead flood light in the cabin area.
The utility lights are individually controlled by the
rheostatswitch placarded OFF - ON - BRT, located on
the back of each light. A momentary ON switch is
located in the center of the rheostat. The light is capable
of producing a red or white spotlight by adjusting a
diaphragm, located in front of the light. To remove the
light from the stationary position, pull down on the light.
The light is connected to the light housing by an 11 inch
coiled cord that extends to approximately 50 inches.
Power for the utility lights is provided through the 5-
ampere circuit breaker placarded CABIN LIGHTS, on
the overhead circuit breaker panel.
(4)
Cabin door latching mechanism light. A
light is provided to check the cabin door latching
mechanism. It is controlled by a red pushbutton switch
located adjacent to the round observation window, which
is just above the second step.
2-77.
EMERGENCY LIGHTING SYSTEM.
An independent battery-operated emergency lighting
system
is
installed.
The
system
is
actuated
automatically by shock, such as a forced landing. It
provides adequate lighting inside and outside the
fuselage to permit the occupants to read instruction
placards and locate exits. An inertia switch, when
subjected to a 2 G (minimum) shock will illuminate the
interior lights in the cockpit, forward and aft cabin areas,
exterior lights aft of the emergency exit, and aft of the
cabin door. The battery power source is automatically
recharged by the aircraft electrical system.
a.
Emergency Lighting System Operation. An
emergency lights override switch, located on the
overhead control panel (fig. 2-15), is provided to turn the
system off if it is accidentally actuated. The switch is
placarded EMERGENCY OFF/RESET - AUTO - TEST.
Should the system accidentally actuate, the emergency
lights will illuminate. Placing the switch in the
momentary OFF/RESET position will extinguish the
lights. To test the system, place the switch in the
momentary TEST position. The lights should illuminate.
Moving the switch to the OFF/RESET position will turn
the system off and reset it. The switch is normally in the
AUTO position.
