The left and right sides of the switch and control panel, and the audio
control panel may be lighted by electroluminescent panels which do not
require light bulbs for illumination. To utilize this lighting, turn the NA V
light rocker switch to the ON position and rotate the inner knob labeled EL'
PANEL, on the right dimming rheostat, clockwise to the desired light
intensity.
Instrument panel flood lighting consists of four red lights on the
underside of the glare shield, and two red flood lights in the forward section
of the overhead console. This lighting is controlled by rotating the outer
knob labeled FLOOD, on the left dimming rheostat, clockwise to the
desired intensity.
The instrument panel may be equipped with post lights which are
mounted at the edge of each instrument or control and provide direct
lighting. This lighting is controlled by rotating the inner knob labeled
POST, on the left dimming rheostat, clockwise to the desired light inten-
sity. Flood and post lights may be used simultaneously by rotating both the
FLOOD and POST knobs clockwise to the desired intensity for each type of
lighting.
The engine instrument cluster, radio equipment, and magnetic com-
pass have integral lighting and operate independently of post or flood
lighting. To operate these lights, rotate the outer knob labeled ENG-
RADIO, on the right· dimming rheostat, clockwise to the desired light
intensity. However, for daylight operation, the compass and engine
instrument lights may be turned off while still maintaining maximum
light intenSity for the digital readouts in the radio equipment. This is
accomplished by rotating the ENG-RADIO knob full counterclockwise.

turned off for daylight operation by rotating the FLOOD, POST, and EL
PANEL knobs full counterclockwise.

Map lighting is provided by overhead console map lights and a glare
shield mounted map light. The airplane may also be equipped with a
control wheel map light. The overhead console map lights operate in
conjunction with instrument panel flood lighting and consist of two
openings just aft of the red instrument panel flood lights. The map light
openings have sliding covers controlled by small round knobs which
uncover the openings when moved toward each other. The covers should be
kept closed unless the map lights are required. A map light and toggle
switch, mounted in front of the pilot on the underside of the glare shield, is
