It is now advisable to perform a very quick check of the ANE (air navigation equipment). To
do this, perform the following actions and remember that battery power is limited and will not
last long; a quick check is all that is necessary to ensure that the lighting facilities function
correctly -

29. get out of the cockpit and CHECK the port side wing tip ANE light
30. move around to the front of the aircraft and CHECK the landing/navigation
light on the port wing
31. while moving around to the starboard wing tip, CHECK the landing position
lights on the front and main undercarriage
32. CHECK the starboard side wing tip ANE light
33. while moving to the rear,
CHECK the anti-collision beacon
34. while moving to the port side, CHECK the rear tail ANE and then enter the
cockpit
35. SWITCH the ANE switches to the OFF position
36. SWITCH the BATTERY-GROUND SUPPLY to the OFF position
37. NOTE: all switches should be OFF
4.2. Relevant Documentation
Before the equipment is inspected, the pilot-in-command must look through the flight
logbook to check whether any reported defects (detected during previous flights) have
been eliminated. It is important to get to know what kind of works/repairs have been
performed on the aircraft by technical personnel.
If a group manages the aircraft then seek information about the maintenance schedule
and if action needs taking – ACT! From this point on, you
the pilot-in-command become
responsible for the readiness of the aircraft for flight -
