SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS
control panel also protects the avionics systems. The cigar lighter is
protected by a manually-reset type circuit breaker on the back of the
lighter, and a fuse behind the instrument panel. The control wheel map
light
(if
installed) is protected by the NA V LIGHTS circuit breaker and a
fuse behind the instrument panel. Electrical circuits which are not
protected by circuit breakers are the battery contactor clOSing (external
power) circuit, clock circuit, and flight hour recorder circuit. These,
circuits are protected by fuses mounted adjacent to the battery.
GROUND SERVICE PLUG RECEPTACLE
A ground service plug receptacle may be installed to permit the use of
an external power source for cold weather starting and during lengthy
maintenance work on the electrical and electronic equipment. Details of
the ground service plug receptacle are presented in Section 9, Supple-
ments.
LIGHTING SYSTEMS
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Conventional navigation lights are located on the wing tips and tail
stinger, and dual landing/taxi lights are installed in the cowl nose cap.
Additional lighting is available and includes a strobe light on each wing
tip, a flashing beacon on top of the vertical stabilizer, and two courtesy
lights, one under each wing, just outboard of the cabin doors. Details of the
strobe light system are presented in Section 9, Supplements. The courtesy
lights are operated by a switch located on the left rear door post. All
exterior lights, except the courtesy lights, are operated by rocker switches
on the left switch and control panel. The switches are ON in the up position
and off in the down position.
The flashing beacon should not be used when 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 orienta-
tion.
INTERIOR LIGHTING
Instrument and control panel lighting is provided by flood and integral
lighting, with electroluminescent and post lighting also available. Dual
concentric light dimming rheostats on the left side of the switch and
control panel control the intensity of all lighting. The following para-
graphs describe the various lighting systems and their controls.
