TM 55-1510-220-10
Control of the lights is provided by a switch placarded
ICE ON the overhead control panel (fig. 2-12).
Prolonged use during ground operation may generate
enough heat to damage the lens.
f.
Recognition Lights. A switch placarded
RECOG ON, located in the pilot's subpanel LIGHTS
section (fig. 2-6), controls the 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. 2-27).
2-76. INTERIOR LIGHTING.
Lighting systems are installed for use by the pilot,
copilot, and mission operators 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, on the
overhead control panel (fig. 2-12), 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 l/2-ampere circuit breaker
placarded FLT INST on the overhead circuit breaker
panel (fig. 2-27). Control is provided ,by two rheostat
switches placarded PILOT INST LIGHTS OFF BRT and
COP'II,OT INST LIGHTS OFF BRT on the overhead
control panel (fig. 2-12). 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. 2-27). Control
is provided by a rheostat switch placarded INST
INDIRECT LIGHTS OFF BRT on the overhead control
panel (fig. 2-12). Turning the control clockwise from
OFF turns the lights on and increases their brilliance.
(3)
Engine instrument lights. Each individual
engine 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 breaker panel (fig. 2-27). Control is
provided by a rheostat switch placarded ENGINE INST
LIGHTS OFF BRT on the overhead control panel (fig.
2-12). Turning the control clockwise from OFF turns the
lights on and increases their brilliance.
(4)
Flood light. A single overhead flood light
is installed. It provides overall illumination of the entire
cockpit area. The circuit is protected by a 5-ampere
circuit breaker mounted beneath the battery and
connected to the emergency battery bus. Control is
provided by a rheostat switch placarded OVERHEAD
FLOOD LIGHTOFF-BRT on the overhead control panel
(fig. 212). Turning the control clockwise from OFF
turns the light on and increases its brilliance.
(5)
Overhead panel lights. Lamps on the
overhead circuit breaker panel, control panel, and fuel
management panel are protected by a 7 1/ 2-ampere
circuit breaker placarded OVHD on the overhead circuit
breaker panel (fig. 2-27). Control is provided by a
rheostat switch placarded OVERHEAD PANEL LIGHTS
OFF BRT on the overhead control panel (fig. 2-12).
Turning the control clockwise from off turns the lights on
and increases their brilliance.
(6)
Subpanel and console lights. Lights on
the pilot's and copilot's subpanels, console edge lighted
panels and pedestal extension panels are protected by a
7 1/2-ampere circuit breaker placarded SUBPNL &
CONSOLE on the overhead circuit breaker panel (fig.
2-27). Control is provided by two rheostat switches
placarded SUBPANEL or CONSOLE LIGHTS OFF BRT
on the overhead control panel (fig. 2-12). turning the
control clockwise from OFF turns the lights on and
increases their brilliance.
(7)
Free air temperature light. Two post lights
are mounted adjacent to the free air temperature gage
on the left cockpit sidewall trim panel. The circuit is
protected by a 7 1/2-ampere circuit breaker placarded
FLT INST on the overhead circuit breaker panel (fig. 2-
27). Control is provided by a pushbutton switch
adjacent to the gage. No intensity control is provided.
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
2-70
