LIGHTING SYSTEMS
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Exterior lighting consists of navigation lights on the wing tips and the tip
of the rudder, landing/taxi lights located on the left wing leading edge, a
flashing beacon mounted on top of the vertical stabilizer, and a strobe
light on each wing tip.
Two courtesy lights are recessed into the lower surfaces of each wing
and provide illumination for each cabin door area. The switch for the
courtesy lights is found on the pilot's overhead console. The rear dome
light and under-wing courtesy lights share the same control switch.
Pressing the courtesy light switch will make the lights come on and
pressing it again will make the lights go out.
All other exterior lights are operated by switches found on the lighted
switch panel to the left of the PFD. Exterior lights are grouped together
in the LIGHTS section of the switch panel. To activate the BEACON,
LAND (landing light), TAXI (taxi light), NAV, and STROBE light(s), place
the switch in the up position. Circuit breakers for the lights are found on
the lighted circuit breaker panel on the lower left instrument panel,
below the PFD. Circuit breakers are grouped by electrical bus with
BEACON and LAND on ELECTRICAL BUS 1 and TAXI, NAV and
STROBE on ELECTRICAL BUS 2.
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.
