AIRPLANE LIGHTING
Purpose
The lighting systems provide illumination throughout the airplane:
1. to insure visibility of instruments and controls in the flight compartment,
2. for passenger safety, comfort and convenience,
3. to insure the airplane is visible and
4. for the convenience of the maintenance/servicing personnel.
Functional Description
Airplane lighting systems are divided into 5 groups as follows:
S Flight compartment lights: flight compartment lighting illuminates the control
cabin work areas and control panels.
S Passenger compartment lights:
-- passenger compartment lights illuminate ceiling, sidewalls, seats, aisles,
entryways, lavatories and galley areas. Call lights and passenger infor-
mation signs provide messages for the flight crew, flight attendants, and
passengers.
S Cargo and service compartment lights illuminate maintenance, servicing
and cargo loading areas during ground operations.
S Exterior lights provide visibility to other airplanes in flight, and illuminate the
airplane, landing and taxiing areas during flight and ground operations.
S The emergency lighting system provides illumination in the event of an
electric power failure.

EXTERIOR ILLUMINATION
General Position Lights
Airplane exterior lighting provides high intensity light for Quartz halogen position (navigation) light in the leading and trailing edges of
S identification of airplane position (navigation) and the wingtips provide lighting for recognizing airplane position.

It also provides lighting for: S Left leading edge lights are red.
S landing and S Right leading edge lights are green.
S taxi areas All lights are controlled by a single on / off switch on overhead panel P5.
S wing and
S engines.
All lights are controlled from the flight compartment.
Wing Illumination Lights
Wing illumination lights are high intensity quartz halogen light assemblies
mounted on each side of the fuselage. A plano lens divides the light from a
single lamp into two beams:
S one beam lights the engine;
S the other lights the wing.
A single on / off switch on overhead panel P5 controls both light assemblies.
Runway turnoff and taxi lights are high intensity quartz halogen lights. The taxi
lights, mounted on the nose gear fixed section, illuminates the ground ahead of
the airplane. A runway turnoff light in each wing root strakelet illuminates the
ground ahead and to the side of the airplane. Each light is controlled by a sepa-
rate on/off switch on overhead panel P5.
