(a)
External AC power annunciator
light. An annunciator light placarded EXT AC PWR ON,
located on the mission annunciator panel indicates that
an AC GPU plug is mated to the AC external power
receptacle and the External AC Power control switch is
On.
(b)
External AC power control switch.
A switch placarded AC EXT POWER, located on the
mission control panel controls application of three phase
AC power to the aircraft.
Section X. LIGHTING
2-74. EXTERIOR LIGHTING.
a.
Description. Exterior lighting (fig. 2-27)
consists of a navigation light on top of the aft section of
the vertical stabilizer, one navigation light on top and
bottom of each wing tip pod, two strobe beacons, one on
top of the vertical stabilizer and one on the underside of
the fuselage center section, dual landing lights, one taxi
light mounted on the nose gear assembly, a recognition
light located in each wing tip, and two ice lights, one
light flush mounted in each nacelle, positioned to
illuminate along the leading edge of each outboard wing.
b.
Navigation Lights. The navigation lights are
protected by a 5-ampere circuit breaker placarded NAV
on the overhead circuit breaker panel (fig. 2-26).
Control of the lights is provided by a switch placarded
NAV-ON on the overhead control panel (fig. 2-18).
c.
Strobe Beacons. The strobe beacons are dual
intensity units. They are protected by a 15ampere
circuit breaker placarded BCN on the overhead circuit
breaker panel (fig. 2-26). Control of the lights is
provided by a switch placarded BEACONDAY-NIGHT
(fig. 2-18). Placing the switch in the DAY position will
activate the high intensity white section of the strobe
lights for greater visibility during daytime operation.
Placing the switch in the NIGHT position activates the
lower intensity red section of the strobe lights.
d.
Landing/Taxi Lights. Dual landing lights and a
single taxi light are mounted on the nose gear assembly.
The lights are controlled by switches, placarded
LANDING and TAXI, located in the LIGHTS section of
the pilot's subpanel. In addition, these light are
extinguished whenever the landing gear is retracted.
The landing/taxi lights circuits are protected by 5-
ampere circuit breakers placarded LANDING and TAXI
respectively, located on the overhead circuit breaker
panel (fig. 2-26). Additional circuit protection is
provided by 35-ampere and 15ampere circuit breakers
on the DC power distribution panel located beneath the
cockpit floor.
e.
Ice Lights. The ice lights circuit is protected by
a 5-ampere circuit breaker placarded ICE on the
overhead circuit breaker panel (fig. 2-26). Control of
the lights is provided by a switch placarded ICE on the
overhead control panel (fig. 2-18). Prolonged use
during ground operation may generate enough heat to
damage the lens.
f.
Recognition Lights. A RECOG switch, located
in the pilot's subpanel LIGHTS section, controls a white
recognition light in each wing tip. When requested, this
steady, bright light is used for identification in the traffic
pattern. The recognition lights circuit is protected by a 7
1/2 ampere RECOG circuit breaker located on the
overhead circuit breaker panel (fig. 2-26).
2-75. INTERIOR LIGHTING.
Lighting systems are installed for use by the pilot
and copilot and by the passengers in the cabin area.
The lighting systems in the cockpit are provided with
intensity controls on the overhead control panel. A
switch placarded MASTER PANEL LIGHTS on the
overhead control panel (fig. 2-18) provides overall on-
off control for all engine instrument lights, pilot and
copilot instrument lights, overhead panel lights, console
and subpanel lights and the free air temperature light.
a.
Cockpit Lighting.
(1)
Flight instrument lights. Each individual
flight instrument contains internal lamps for illumination.
The circuit is protected by a 7 1/2-ampere circuit
breaker placarded FLT INST on the overhead circuit
overhead circuit breaker panel (fig. 226). Control is
provided by two rheostat switches placarded PILOT or
COPILOT INST LIGHTS-OFF-BRT on the overhead
control panel (fig. 2-18). Turning the control clockwise
from OFF turns the lights on and increases their
brilliance.
(2)
Instrument indirect lights. Three lights are
mounted in the glareshield overhang along the top edge
of the instrument panel and provide overall instrument
panel illumination. The circuit is protected by a 5-
ampere circuit breaker placarded INST INDIRECT on
the overhead circuit breaker panel (fig. 2-26). Control
is provided by a rheostat switch placarded INST
INDIRECT LIGHTS-OFF-BRT on the overhead control
panel (fig. 2-18). Turning the
