Light Facilities

Exterior Equipment

The outside facility incorporates the navigation lights, a flashing beacon and a land/taxi
lamp. 2. The running flights with a filament lamp and the tail navigation light with a

filament lamp are mounted on the aircraft

A red flashing light beacon with two reflector lamps is placed at the fin tip of the aircraft

A lamp with two filaments: landing (200 W) and taxiing (130 W) ones is used as a
land/taxi lamp. It is mounted on the port wing leading edge

On the main and frontal undercarriage legs two light warning fixtures are installed to

provide the extend undercarriage warning for the finisher on the ground. The type

fixtures with a filament lamp are used as lights

Interior Equipment

The interior light facility is designed for illumination of the instrument panel, general and

local illumination of the common cockpit

A system of red lights is employed to illuminate the instruments, sub-panels, panels and

signs

The lights are intended to be used for illumination of the instruments, sub-panels,

console's panels and the instrument boards with a red light. Each lighting fixture contains

two lamps. The lighting fixture are divided in two groups: main illumination -six fixtures

and emergency lighting -two fixtures

A slot-type vertical lighting fixture serves to illuminate sub-panels, consoles and individual
instruments and notices on the panels. It uses a lamp

A lighting fixture An M is used to illuminate signs made by the light pipe method. The

fixture uses a lamp

General illumination of the common cockpit is provided with the help of a dome lamp,

placed on the cockpit ceiling. A lamp is used there

Local illumination of the cadet's (left pilot) station is carried out by a light fixture with a

lamp. The illumination enables to make recordings, to use a chart and other working

papers

Lighting facility maintenance in night flights

Prior to the engine start, turn-on the general illumination of the cockpit and illumination

of the crew instrument panel. Supply is provided from the aircraft accumulator or the

airfield network

When the engine and generator have been started, turn-on the flashing beacon running
lights and the tail navigation light

By using the adjusting rheostats, select intensity sufficient to read properly the

indications of the instruments and signs

NOTE
Intensity of the scale lighting must not blind the pilot and produce bright dazzles on the

instruments glass, on canopy and doors.
