Exterior Lighting
See
Figure 7.9.7.
The airplane is equipped with three strobe and navigation lights, two landing lights,
two taxi lights, two recognition lights and a wing leading edge icing inspection light.
Landing Lights
The landing lights are
embedded in the winglets' leading edge. These lights are
controlled by setting a switch located on upper panel to LDG.
The Pulse lite system, if installed, allows the pilot to have the landing lights flash
continuously, making the airplane more visible to the control tower and to nearby
aircraft.
Taxi Lights
The taxi lights are embedded in the winglets' leading edge. These lights are
controlled by setting a switch located on upper panel to TAXI.
Navigation Lights and Strobe Lights
Two strobe and navigation lights are installed in the winglets and one on the tail
cone.
They are controlled by the NAV and STROBE switches located on upper panel.
NOTE
At night, do not use anti-collision lights in fog, clouds, or mist – as reflection of
the flashing lights may lead to dizziness and disorientation.
