EXTERIOR
LIGHTING.
Standard
exterior
lighting
consists
of navigation
lights
on
the
wing
tips
and
lower
tips
of the
vertical
fins, a flashing
beacon
on top of
the
right
vertical
fin, and dual
beam
landing and
taxi
lights
in
the leading edge of
the
left
wing. Optional lighting includes dual
beam
landing and
taxi
lights
in
the
leading
edge of the
right
wing, a
strobe
light
on
each
wing tip, and
a
courtesy
light
under
the
right
wing outboard of the cabin
door.
The
courtesy
light
is
operated
by a switch
located
on the
aft
side
of the
rear
door
post.
To
turn
on the light,
place
the switch
in
the top ("COURTESY-
DOME") position. All
exterior
lights,
except
the
courtesy
light,
are
con-
trolled
by
rocker

switches
on the
left
switch
and
control
panel.
The
switches
are
"ON"
in
the up position and
"OFF"
in
the
down pOSition.
The 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.
The two high intenSity
strobe
lights
will enhance
anti-collision
pro-
tection.
However,
the
lights
should
be
turned
off when taxiing
in
the
vicinity of
other
aircraft,
or
during
flight through clouds, fog
or
haze.
