External lights system consists of the following equipment (see Figure below):
• NAV Lights: they provide, by means of three position lights, the aircraft flight
direction identification.
• Strobe Lights: they provide aircraft identification to prevent collision. They are
located, like the above mentioned NAV lights, on the winglets and on the top of
the vertical fin.
• Taxi Light: supports taxi maneuvering on the ground at night. It is installed on
the left wing leading edge.
• Landing Light: provides ground reference information during final approach,
touchdown, ground roll and take off and illuminates any major obstructions in the
airplane approach glide path or on runway at night. It is installed on the left wing
leading edge.
