CHAPTER 33
LIGHTS
33-00 Description
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. A light at the top of the windshield and post lights illuminate the instrument
panel. Panel 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 with high and low settings. The map light may be used for emergency
lighting of the instrument panel. An additional cabin light with an adjacent switch is located
just aft of the map light. The map and cabin lights are not connected to the dimmer circuit.
Two long-life, high intensity discharge (HID) landing lights are installed in the nose. One
wide-angle and one narrow-beam light are used to increase lighted area. One landing light
switch controls both lights and is located on the cyclic center post.
NOTE
Continuous operation of landing and position lights in flight is
recommended to promote collision avoidance.
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 an additional position on
the strobe switch. On later aircraft, the optional light is controlled by a separate switch.
