7-19 LIGHTING SYSTEMS
EXTERNAL LIGHTING: LED/HID CONFIGURATION
External lighting is provided through four navigation lights, two landing/
recognition lights, two taxi lights, two strobe lights, and a ashing beacon.
All of the external lights are controlled by toggle switches located on the
lower portion of the instrument panel, forward of the pilot seat. The lighting
toggle switches are ON when placed in the up position and OFF in the down
position.
Navigation Lights
LED navigation lights are installed on the wing tips. The navigation lights are
protected by a circuit breaker labeled NAV LIGHT.
Landing Lights
Two high intensity discharge (HID) xenon landing lights are installed on
the airplane, one in each outboard wing leading edge. The lights provide
illumination forward and downward for accomplishing night takeoffs and
landings. The lights are protected by a circuit breaker labeled LANDING
LIGHTS.
The landing lights are limited to an operating temperature range of -40°C to
+85°C and should not be turned on outside of that temperature range.
Taxi Lights
Two LED taxi lights are installed on the airplane, one in each outboard wing
leading edge. The lights are positioned to provide adequate lighting for taxi
operations. The taxi lights are protected by a circuit breaker labeled TAXI
LIGHT.
The taxi lights are also utilized as pulsing recognition lights. When the taxi
light switch is placed in the PULSE (middle) position, the taxi lights inititate
an alternating pulsing sequence, providing great visual recognition by other
aircraft.
NOTE: Use common courtesy when operating the landing lights. The
landing lights may cause temporary loss of night vision to other pilots.
The landing lights should be turned off when directed towards other
approaching aircraft, especially aircraft approaching to land.
