The majority of the instruments are internally lighted. For general illumination, either Suotescent or incandescent floodlights are used. Seat belt-no smoking lights are available for the cabin area, and provisions are made for illuminating the exits in the event of an emergency. Exterior lighting consists of navigation, landing, anticollision, strobe, taxi, ice inspection, and optional customer installed wheel well utility lights. Included in this chapter are specific limitations and a series of questions.

Informa- tion regarding cabin lights or additional light- ing installed by the furnishing agencies is not contained herein. COCKPIT LIGHTS ‘The cockpit lighting consists of floodlights, lighting of panels, and internal lighting o| struments, The lighting is designed to give red and white lighting with individual control to each crewmember for his own instruments and consoles. Cockpit lighting controls are located in three basic areas within the cockpit: © Pilot's lighting control panel on the left console * Copilot’s lighting control panel on the right console * Overhead panel Most of the lighting is controlled by selector switches located on these three panels (Figure 3-1). Each selector switch allows for a partic lar system to operate through a range from off to bright Cockpit Lighting Controls DECEMBER 1986Those lights not controlled by the lighting theostats are the dome light and the pilot's and copilot’s map lights, which have their own con- trol switches. Each lighting circuit is explained separately. Dome Light A single white dome light is mounted in the ceil- ing and controlled by a switch mounted on its fixture (Figure 3-2). It receives DC power from the essential bus and is protected by the 5-ampere DOME FLD circuit breaker. oa ee Figure 3-2. Dome Light Map Lights Map lights are installed for the pilot and copi- lot. On airplanes SNs 1-86 (unmodified), map lights are located outboard of the upper over- head panel and are controlled by an ON-OFF toggle switch on the pilot’s and copilot’s light- ing control panels. Each light has an adjustable lens that can be rotated to provide either flood or spotlight capability. There are individual light brightness adjustments. Power is supplied from the main DC bus through the 5-ampere MAP LTS circuit breaker. Airplanes SNs 87 and sub- sequent and earlier airplanes modified by ASC 115 utilize adjustable goose neck map lights. Both the lights and control switches are located at the top of the associated lighting control panels. They are powered from the main DC bus through the 5-ampere MAP LTS circuit breaker. Edge Lighting The edge-lighted panels are made of plastic and are engraved to allow red light to shine through DECEMBER 1986 FlightSafety G-I TRAINING MANUAL the engraving and also onto the rocker switches, allowing the crew to locate them at night. Panel Lighting ‘The rheostats located on the overhead panel (Fig- ure 3-1) are labeled, powered, and control light- ing as follows: PEDESTAL FLOOD—Controls the pedestal floodlight using essential DC power OVERHEAD FLOOD—Controls two white overhead floodlights using essential DC power OVERHEAD EDGE—Controls the upper overhead edge lighting using main DC power EYEBROW & LOWER OVERHEAD EDGE—Controls the eyebrow and lower overhead edge lighting using main DC power PEDESTAL EDGE—Controls the pedestal edge lighting using main DC power PEDESTAL RADIO EDGE—Controls the radio edge lighting on the pedestal using main DC power ‘The rheostats located on the pilot's and copilot's side console panels (Figure 3-1) are labeled, powered, and control lighting as follows: WHITE FLOOD—Controls the console white floodlights using main DC power RED EDGE & FLOOD—Controls the red edge and console floodlights using main DC power WHITE FLOOD—Controls the instrument panel white floodlights using main DC power RED FLOOD—Controls the instrument panel red floodlights using main DC power FLIGHT INSTR—Controls the instrument panel red lights using essential DC power (air- planes SNs 87 and subsequent and earlier air- planes incorporating ASC 115) ENGINE INSTR.—Controls the engine in- strument red post lights using the main DC power FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY 3-3White Override Switch The switch located on the lower overhead panel (Figure 3-3), labeled “WHT. OVERRIDE- ALL ON-OFF-ALL OFF,” allows control over the illumination of all white lights in the cock- pit except the map and dome lights. In the ALL. ON position all white lights illuminate at full in- tensity regardless of their respective rheostat po- sitions. This position can be used in lightning, storms to minimize the effect of bright flashes. The OFF position allows the individual rheostats, control over the white lights. In the ALL OFF position, all white lights are inoperative regard- less of individual rheostat positions. This posi- tion is used in night flying under strict red lighting conditions. Figure 3-3. WHT. OVERRIDE Switch MISCELLANEOUS LIGHTS Seat Belt-No Smoking Sign Lights A switch located on the lower overhead panel is normally used by the furnishing agencies to illuminate passenger warning signs in the cabin. The switch has three positions and is labeled 3-4 FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY FlightSafety G-I TRAINING MANUAL, “ST. BELT-OFF-ST. BELTS NO SMOKE The appropriate area of an installed sign illu- minates when the switch is moved to that position. Emergency Exit Lights Self-contained. flashlight battery-operated emer- gency and impact lights are located strategically throughout the airplane. These lights may be placed on manually with a switch at each fix- ture (Figure 3-4), or come on automatically when a sufficient impact force trips the mecha- nism. When illuminated automatically, the lights must be reset individually before they can be ex- tinguished. Placing the control switch on the unit to MANUAL and then back to AUTOMATIC resets the lights.

All exterior lights are con- trolled by switches located on the overhead panel (Figure 3-7). Power for all exterior lights (ex- cept navigation lights) is from the main DC bus. Power for the navigation lights is supplied from — the essential DC bus. NAVIGATION LIGHTS Nonflashing lights are mounted on the wingtips and on the rudder. The left wing utilizes a red Figure 3-7. Exterior Lighting Controls TAXI LIGHTS WING INSPECTION LIGHTS NAVIGATION LIGHTS, BEACON STROBE LIGHTS Figure 3-6. Exterior Lighting Locations 3-6 FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY DECEMBER 1986lons, the right side green, and a clear lens is used on the rudder light. These lights are controlled by an ON-OFF NAV. light switch on the lower overhead panel. This switch also causes the warning capsules of the master warning system to dim to half intensity when it is turned to ON. Power is supplied from the essential DC bus LANDING LIGHTS ‘The landing lights are extendable sealed beam units mounted under the wing in each wing fuse- lage fillet (Figure 3-8). Four switches control the operation of these lights. Each light has an ON-OFF switch and an EXTENDED-RE- ‘TRACT switch with a center position that is used to neutralize the switch, Figure 3-8. Landing Lights Each light can be extended at speeds up to 290 knots IAS. These lights can be extended to any degree of arc up to 95 degrees and can be turned on in any position. The landing lights are not self- extinguishing when fully retracted The light switches must be turned to OFF Revision 3—February 1991 FlightSafety Gl TRAINING MANUAL. An amber warning light below the switches in the cockpit illuminates when either light is not fully retracted, ‘The landing lights are not operative in emer- gency DC mode; however, the amber warning light is capable of illumination. ANTICOLLISION (BEACON) LIGHTS ‘Three dual-lamp, rotary beacons are installed. They arc located on the bottom of the fuselage, in the tail cone, and on the top of the vertical fin (Figure 3-9). These lights are operated by one three-position switch located on the lower overhead panel. The switch is labeled “ALL ON-OFF-BOTTOM ONLY.”” When the switch is placed to ALL ON, each light illuminates. In the OFF position, all lights are unpowered. The BOTTOM ONLY position causes illumination of only the tail cone and bottom fuselage bea- cons and is used to prevent pilot vertigo during instrument flight. STROBE LIGHTS Strobe lights are typically installed in each wing- ip, on the bottom aft fuselage, on the forward tip of the vertical stabilizer, and aft of the tail cone (Figure 3-9). Control is incorporated into the same switch used for the rotating beacons or through an individual control switch. When the switch is positioned to ALL ON, all of the strobe lights are active. In the BOTTOM ONLY position, only the lower strobe light is active. WARNING | Care should be taken not to oper- ate the strobe or beacon lights in clouds or in proximity to other air- planes. Strobe action could cause spatial disorientation. FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLYFlightSafety Gl TRAINING MANUAL Figure 3-9. Beacon and Strobe Lights FOR TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY 3-7TAXI LIGHTS ‘Two scaled beam lights are mounted on the nose- wheel strut (Figure 3-10) and are designed to illuminate the area in front of the nose for taxi- ing. A TAXI ON-OFF switch is located on the lower overhead panel. The lights are not opera- tive in emergency DC mode. Figure 3-10. Taxi Lights ‘These lights are not self-extinguish- ing when the gear is retracted. WING INSPECTION LIGHTS Four lights, one on either side of the fuselage and one on the outboard side of each nacelle, are designed to shine along the leading edge of the wing (Figure 3-11). This enables the crew to check wing deicer boot operation, These lights are operated by a single ON-OFF switch located on the lower overhead panel UTILITY LIGHTS Utility lights are provided as a customer installed option in various areas of the airplane such as the baggage and avionics compartments. Con- trol switches are either incorporated into the im- mediate area of the lights or are easily accessible.
