EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Exterior lighting consists of wing and tail mounted navigation lights, anti-collision lights (strobe), wing
inspection lights, landing lights, combination wing recognition/taxi lights, rotating beacon, and optional tail
flood lights. All exterior lights are controlled by switches located on the instrument panel. The navigation
lights are installed in the wing tips and in the tailcone cap. Wing inspection lights, located in the
wing/fuselage fairing, illuminate the forward portion of each wing, enabling the pilot to detect ice buildup
during night flight. The landing lights are located in the wing tips and are individually controlled. The
recognition/taxi lights are individually controlled high intensity lights in the wingtips inboard of the landing
lights. They provide traffic identification and safety lighting for easier recognition by pilots of other aircraft
as well as air traffic controllers.
Additional landing/taxi lights are mounted on the main landing gear struts. With the landing gear
extended, these lights illuminate along with the wingtip landing lights when their respective landing light
switches are turned ON. They are also interfaced to the recognition/taxi lights such that they illuminate
when the recognition/taxi lights switch is selected to REC/TAXI with the landing gear extended. When the
landing gear are not extended, the strut-mounted landing/taxi lights are rendered inoperative.
The rotating beacon is located at the upper tip of the rudder. Anti-collision lights are mounted next to the
navigation lights, one in each wing tip. These lights are of very high intensity and can be disturbing to other
aircraft crew and ground personnel if they are used during ground operations. They should be turned on
just prior to takeoff roll and secured shortly after landing. The tail flood lights, if installed, are mounted on
top of the horizontal stabilizer and illuminate the vertical fin area for inflight recognition at night.
WARNING AND TEST
ANNUNCIATOR PANEL
The annunciator panel is designed to provide the pilot with an easily interpreted display of both normal
and abnormal system conditions. Two flashing master warning lights (MASTER WARNING RESET) are
used in conjunction with the panel to ensure rapid recognition of any red annunciator light. In addition, the
master warning light will flash if both amber GEN OFF lights should illuminate.
The master warning lights can be reset by pressing either light. Resetting the master warning light
rearms the system so that it will function should another failure occur.
The annunciator system is powered from the main direct current (DC) buses through the WARN LTS
1 and 2 circuit breakers on the left cockpit panel.
All system light bulbs can be tested by placing the rotary TEST selector on the left instrument panel to
the ANNU position. This will illuminate all lights and cause the master warning lights to flash.
Burned out bulbs can be replaced by pushing in the light assemblies to the left and right of the failed
bulb; then use a tool to remove the assembly with the burned out lamp.
If the MASTER WARNING light illuminates in a steady mode, it indicates that there has been a loss of
power to the annunciator panel from either the left or right DC electrical bus.
