12.5.4 Flashing Beacon
The flashing beacon is composed of a single string of eight red LEDs and is located
on the upper aft fuselage just forward of where the dorsal fairing intersects the top of
the aft fuselage.
This beacon is activated by use of the same switch used to operate the Anti-Collision
lights. By placing the switch labeled STROBE/BEACON in the BEACON position
only the beacon will be activated. If the switch is raised to the STROBE/BEACON
position, all strobes and the beacon will be in operation.
12.5.5 Taxi/Recognition Lights
There are two 35W taxi lights located in each of the wing tips, to provide for
additional lighting when taxiing and during night operations. The operation of the
Taxi/Recognition lights is dependant on the status of the Weight On Wheels (WOW)
sensor. During ground operation the Taxi/Recognition lights will illuminate in a steady
state fashion. When the WOW sensor indicates and in-flight condition, these lights
will transition to pulsating operation for better recognition.
Taxi lights are activated by a two position TAXI/RECOG switch located on the center
switch panel.
A failure of one of the Taxi/Recognition lights causes a TAXI LIGHT FAIL advisory
message to appear.
