SECTION 7
SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION
LIGHTING SYSTEM
A red anti-collision light is installed on the tailcone and is
controlled by the strobe switch. Position lights are installed
on each side of the cabin and in the tail and are controlled
by the nav lights switch. Post and internal lights (earlier
aircraft) or a light at the top of the windshield (later aircraft)
illuminate the instruments. Instrument lighting is active
when the nav lights switch is on and lighting is dimmed
via the knob above the nav lights switch. An overhead
map light mounted on a swivel is controlled by an adjacent
switch. The map light may be used for emergency lighting
of the instrument panel.
Two landing lights are installed in the nose at different
vertical angles to increase the lighted area. One landing
light switch controls both lights and is located on the cyclic
center post.
NOTE
Landing lights operate only when clutch
actuator switch is in the engage position.
An optional flashing light may be mounted on the tailcone
in addition to the standard anti-collision light. On earlier
aircraft, the optional light is controlled by the strobe
switch and the standard light is powered whenever the
battery switch is on. On later aircraft, the optional light is
controlled by a separate switch.
