AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION
LIGHTING SYSTEMS
EXTERIOR LIGHTING

STROBE LIGHTS

A high intensity LED strobe light system is installed on the airplane. The
system includes two strobe lights located one on each wing tip. The
lights are used to enhance anti-collision protection for the airplane and
are required anti-collision lights for night operations. The strobe lights
are protected by a pull-off type circuit breaker, labeled STROBE LIGHT,
on the left sidewall switch and circuit breaker panel.
Strobe lights should be turned off when taxiing.
Ground operation of the high intensity anti-
collision lights can be considerable annoyance to
ground personnel and other pilots. Do not operate
the anti-collision lights in conditions of fog, clouds,
or haze as the reflection of the light beam can
cause disorientation or vertigo.

FLASHING BEACON LIGHT

A red flashing LED beacon light is installed on the top of the vertical fin
as additional anti-collision protection in flight and for recognition during
ground operation. The light is visible through most angles. The flashing
beacon light is protected by a pull-off type circuit breaker, labeled
BEACON LIGHT, on the left sidewall switch and circuit breaker panel.
The flashing beacon should not be used when
flying through clouds or overcast; the flashing light
reflected from water droplets or particles in the
atmosphere, particularly at night, can cause
disorientation or vertigo.
