SYSTEMS
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Exterior
lighting
consists
of
navigation
lights
on
the
wing
tips
and
top
of
the
rudder,
a
dual
landing/taxi
light
configuration
located
in
the
left
wing leading edge,
a
flashing
beacon mounted
on
top
of
the
vertical
fin,
and
a
strobe
light
on
each
wing
tip.
In
addition,
two
courtesy
lights
are
recessed
into
the lower
surface of
each
wing
and
provide
illumination
for
each
cabin door
area.
The
exterior
courtesy
lights
(and
the
rear

dome
light)
are
turned
on
by pressing
the
rear

light
switch.
Pressing

switch

NOTE
The strobes

flying
through
clouds
or
overcast;
the
flashing
light
reflected
from
water
droplets
or
particles
in
the
atmosphere,
particularly
at
night,
can
produce
vertigo
and
loss
of
orientation.
