sity for the digital readouts only. Clockwise rotation of the control knob
will provide normal variable light intensity for nighttime operation.
The control pedestal has two integral lights. Pedestal light intensity is
controlled by the large (outer) control knob of the concentric control knobs
labeled EL PANEL, ENG-RADIO.
Map lighting is provided by overhead console map lights and an
antiglare 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, moun ted in front of the pilot on the underside of the antiglare
shield, is used for illuminating approach plates or other charts when using
a control wheel mounted approach plate holder. The switch is labeled MAP
LIGHT, ON, OFF and light intensity is controlled by the FLOOD (large
outer) control knob. The pilot's control wheel map light (if installed)
illuminates the lower portion of the cabin in front of the pilot, and is used
for checking maps and other flight data during night operation. The light is
utilized by turning on the NAV light switch, and adjusting light intensity
with the rheostat control knob on the bottom of the control wheel.
The airplane is equipped with a dome light aft of the overhead console.
The light is operated by a slide-type switch, aft of the light lens, which
turns the light on when moved to the right.
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.
CABIN HEATING, VENTILATING AND
DEFROSTING SYSTEM
The temperature and volume of airflow into the cabin can be regulated
to any degree desired by manipulation of the push-pull CABIN HEAT and
CABIN AIR control knobs (see figure 7-9). Both control knobs are the
double button type with locks to permit intermediate settings.
