2. Differentiate pilot visibility and aircraft visibility.

The flight deck windshield must provide sufficient external vision to permit the pilot
to perform any maneuvers within the operating limits of the aircraft safely and at the same
time afford an unobstructed view of the flight instruments and other critical components
and displays from the same eye position while the aircraft visibility is a measure of the
distance at which an object or light can be clearly discerned. Visibility may vary according
to the direction and angle of view, and the height of the observer.

3. What are the safety precautions in handling aircraft lights?

➤ Isolate the electrical circuits from the related equipment and the environment to prevent
injury to persons and/or aircraft damage.

➤ Do not disconnect the electrical connections for at least two minutes after you
de−energize the electrical circuits.

➤ Do not look directly towards the lights without eyes protection.

➤ Make sure that there are no signs of fuel contamination in the landing light assembly.

➤ Put the safety devices and the warning notices in position before you start

a task on or near:

▪ the flight controls,

▪ the flight control surfaces,

▪ the landing gear and the related doors,

▪ components that move.

➤ Do not remove a strobe light for at least ten minutes after you de−energize the electrical
circuits.
