LIGHTING
INTERIOR LIGHTING
Interior lighting is provided for the flight compartment, cabin and tailcone area. Electroluminescent
panels, instrument floodlights and white background lighting illuminate all cockpit instruments and switches.
Two overhead floodlights, controlled by a single rheostat switch, are available for additional cockpit lighting.
The overhead floodlights operate off the emergency bus in the event of a double generator failure. The
following instrument panel lights can be operated from the standby gyro battery in case of electrical system
failure: standby gyro indicator, dual fan tachometers, the standby altimeter/airspeed indicator and the
standby horizontal situation indicator (HSI). All lights except the overhead and instrument floodlights are
controlled by a PANEL LIGHT CONTROL master switch and then adjusted by rheostats. When the
instrument panel lights are on, a dimmer is activated in the annunciator panel to provide for lower warning
light intensity during night flying. The starter disengage switch is also illuminated when the panel lights are
on. A floodlight in the glare shield comes on to illuminate the fan tachometers when a starter switch is
pressed. It goes out when the starter/generator reverts to generator operation.
Two individually controlled map lights are located in the overhead panel above the pilot and copilot.
Intensity controls are located at the forward end of each side console.
Cabin lighting includes overhead fluorescent lighting, individually controlled overhead reading lights,
two aft baggage compartment lights and a refreshment center light. An illuminated switch on the forward
door post turns on exit lights over the main and emergency doors and one aft baggage compartment light.
These lights are powered by the hot battery bus and are available any time the battery is installed and
serviceable.
A three-position passenger advisory switch in the cockpit is also tied to the hot battery bus. In the
SEAT BELT position, only the FASTEN SEAT BELT sign is illuminated in the cabin. In the PASS SAFETY
position, the NO SMOKING, FASTEN SEAT BELT sign and EMERGENCY EXIT lights are illuminated.
When the switch is OFF, all advisory and emergency lighting is extinguished.
A third provision for emergency exit lighting is through a small battery located beneath the floorboard
next to the cabin door, which will power the emergency exit lights any time a sensor is exposed to a force
of 5 Gs or more.
TAILCONE LIGHTING
A detachable light located in the forward tailcone area provides interior lighting for tailcone inspection.
Power is from the hot battery bus. The OFF/ON switch is mounted on the access doorframe and is wired
through the door-closed microswitch. The same switch controls the tailcone light and the tailcone baggage
compartment lights. Closing the tailcone compartment door will extinguish the light, regardless of OFF/ON
switch position.
TAILCONE BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT LIGHTING
Two tailcone baggage compartment lights are located above the tailcone access door. The switch is
located on the aft face of the forward door post. It is the same switch that controls the tailcone light
discussed above. The tailcone baggage compartment lights are also controlled by the same door-closed
microswitch as the tailcone light.
NOSE BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT LIGHTING
A light located centrally in the nose baggage compartment provides interior lighting for baggage
loading or unloading. An illuminated OFF/ON switch, located adjacent to the light, is wired through a
microswitch in each nose baggage access door release latch. With the switch in the ON position, opening
either door will illuminate the light. Closing the baggage doors will extinguish the light, regardless of switch
position.
The nose baggage light is powered by the hot battery bus and is available any time the battery is
connected and serviceable.
