EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS: An approved tail position light
assembly should be mounted as far aft on the aircraft as
practicable on a thermally conductive surface. The
baseplate must be mounted parallel to the vertical and
horizontal centerlines of the aircraft to project the patterns
properly.
Certain types of installations may require additional testing.
CONTINUED AIRWORTHINESS: The 71554( ) series LED
tail position light assembly is designed with 6 LEDs. Should
any one LED fail the unit must be repaired or replaced.
Note: To reduce eye strain, use an optical filter such as dark
glasses or a blue covering dome during LED inspection.
Inspect the lens. Replace if there is excessive scratching,
pitting, discoloration or cracking.
