CESSNA SECTION 7
MODEL 182T AIRPLANE & SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION
NOTE
The strobes and flashing beacon should not be used when
flying through clouds or overcast; the flashing light reflected
from water droplets or particles in the atmosphere,
particularly at night, can produce vertigo and loss of
orientation.
INTERIOR LIGHTING
Interior lighting is controlled by a combination of flood lighting,
glareshield lighting, pedestal lighting, panel lighting, radio lighting
and pilot control wheel map lighting.
Flood lighting is accomplished using one light in the front and a
single dome light in the rear. All lights are contained in the
overhead console, and are turned on and off with push type
switches located near each light. The front light is individually
rotatable, providing directional lighting for the pilot and front
passenger. The rear dome light is a fixed position light and provides
for general illumination in the rear cabin area.
Glareshield lighting is accomplished using an LED light recessed
into the glareshield. This light is controlled by rotating the
GLARESHIELD LT dimmer, located below the nav indicators.
Rotating the dimmer clockwise increases light intensity, and rotating
the dimmer counterclockwise decreases light intensity.
Pedestal lighting consists of a three hooded lights located at
various locations on the pedestal. These lights are controlled by
rotating the PEDESTAL LT dimmer, located below the nav
indicators. Rotating the dimmer clockwise increases light intensity,
and rotating the dimmer counterclockwise decreases light intensity.
Compass and identification placard lights are also controlled by this
dimmer.
