STERILE LIGHT (OPTIONAL)
A blue sterile light, located on the cockpit/pax partition, indicates, when
lit, that entry into the cockpit is not allowed. It is commanded through a
switch located at the overhead panel.
COURTESY AND STAIRS LIGHTING
The courtesy and stair lights provide lighting for safe boarding of
crewmembers and passengers. The courtesy and stair lights consist of
the main door light (entry area), service door light (galley area),
stairway lights and cockpit step light as follows:
− Main door light: A light is installed on the main door ceiling panel,
above the entry area of the airplane, to illuminate the stair, entry
area, aisle toward cockpit and passenger cabin.
− Service door light: A light is installed on the service door ceiling
panel in order to light the galley area.
− Stairway lights: Airplanes equipped with airstair main doors have
stair lights installed in each step of the main door stair to provide
adequate step illumination.
− Cockpit step light: A red light is installed in the step between the
passenger cabin and the cockpit to provides light for safe entry into
the cockpit. This light is illuminated simultaneously with the main
door light.
These lights are controlled by a main door microswitch and a control
knob, located on the Entrance Panel, above the standard flight
attendant seat on the cockpit partition.
