INTERIOR LIGHTING

Instrument and control panel lighting is provided by flood lighting and integral lighting. Two concentric
rheostat control knobs on the lower left side of the instrument panel, labeled PANEL LT, and RADIO LT,
control the intensity of both flood and integral lighting.
Instrument and control panel flood lighting consists of a single red flood light in the forward part of the
overhead console. To use the flood lighting, rotate the PANEL LT rheostat control knob clockwise to the
desired intensity.
The radio equipment and magnetic compass have integral lighting. The light intensity of all integral
lighting is controlled by the RADIO LT rheostat control knob.
A cabin dome light is located in the aft part of the overhead console, and is operated by a switch on the
lower portion of the instrument panel. To turn the light on, place the switch in the ON position.
A control wheel map light is available and is mounted on the bottom of the pilot's control wheel. The
light illuminates the lower portion of the cabin just forward of the pilot and is helpful when checking
maps and other flight data during night operations. To operate the light, first turn on the NAV LIGHTS
switch; then adjust the map light's intensity with the knurled disk type rheostat control located at the
bottom of the control wheel.
The most probable cause of a light failure is a burned out bulb; however, in the event any of the lighting
systems fail to illuminate when turned on, check the appropriate circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker
has opened (white button popped out), and there is no obvious indication of a short circuit (smoke or
odor), turn off the light switch of the affected lights, reset the breaker, and turn the switch on again. If
the breaker opens again, do not reset it.
