DA 62 AFM Airplane Description
Position and Strobe Lights
Combined position and strobe lights (anti collision lights) are installed on both wing tips.
Each system is operated by a switch (POSITION, STROBE) located on the row of switches
on the instrument panel.
Flood Light
A two-dimensional light emitter is mounted above the instrument panel on the left and
right side. They illuminate the instrument panel as well as all levers, switches, etc. The
flood lights are switched on and their brightness is adjusted by means of a rotary button
(FLOOD) in the center section of the instrument panel.
Instrument Lighting
With a rotary button (INSTRUMENT) in the center section of the instrument panel, the
internal lighting of the instruments and placards is switched on and its brightness is
adjusted.
Pitot Heating
The Pitot probe, which provides measurement for the Pitot-static system, is electrically
heated. The heating is activated with a switch (PITOT HEAT) located on the row of
switches on the instrument panel. The temperature is automatically kept constant by
means of a thermal switch on the Pitot probe, and as an additional safety measure a
thermal fuse is built in. If this thermal fuse is activated, the Pitot heating can no longer
be switched on, and the PITOT FAIL will be displayed. In this case, the system should
be serviced. The PITOT HT OFF is displayed if the Pitot heating is switched off.
