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,
or landing/recognition/taxi lights on left and right wing leading edges if
LED lights are installed, 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 rear dome 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 or RECOG/
TAXI (if installed), NAV and STROBE on ELECTRICAL BUS 2.
LED Landing/Taxi/Recognition lights (if installed) use a three position
switch labeled LAND, RECOG/TAXI, OFF. Placing the switch in the
LAND (landing lights) (up) position activates all LEDs on the left and
right wing leading edge lights and is used during takeoffs and landings
as required. Placing the switch in the RECOG/TAXI (Recognition/Taxi
lights) (center) position with the airplane on the ground, activates the 6
center LEDs which are covered with a spreader lens in each light.
When the airplane is in flight, these 6 center LEDs in each light pulse
alternately to provide the recognition mode. Recognition mode should
be used during day or night flights to enhance visibility to other
airplanes. Since LEDs operate at lower temperatures and have longer
service life, there are no concerns that would limit the operational time
of these lights either on the ground or in flight.
