LIGHTING SYSTEMS
INTERIOR
LIGHTING
Lighting for
the
instrument panet is controlled by a rheostat
switch
located
on the
pilot's
subpanel to the
left of
the
control
column
(M-1285
through
M-1979 except M-1971),
or
on
the
pedestal below
the
power quadrant (M-¾971, M-
1980
and
after).
The
cabin
dome light is operated by
an
ON-OFF
switch
adjacent
to the
light. The
overhead
instrument lighting and
the
map light (M-2224, M-2234
and
after do not have
a
map light installed)
are controlled
by
a
rheostat
switch
located on
the
pedestal, below
the
power
quadrant.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The switches for all of the
exterior
lights
are
located on
the
pilot's
left
subpanel.
Each
circuit
is
protected
by
a circuit
breaker switch,
circuit
breaker,
or
fuse. The exterior lights
consist
of navigation lights
on
the wing tips and rudder, a
landing
light
on
the
left
outboard
wing
and taxi lights
on
both outboard wings. The
landing
light
can be
used
for
ap-
proach
and
taxiing.
For longer
battery
and
lamp life, use
the
landing
light
sparingly;
avoid
prolonged
operation
which
could
cause
overheating
during
ground
maneuvering.
NOTE
Particularly
at
night,
reflections
from
rotating
anti-collision
lights
or
strobe
lights
on
clouds,
dense
haze
or dust can
produce
optical
illu-
sions
and intense
vertigo.
Such lights, when
installed,
should
be
turned
off before
entering
an
overcast;
their
use
may
not be
advisable
under
instrument
or limited VFR
conditions.
