GENERATOR – CONTROLIGHT
The red generator indicator lights are indicators of too low a charging current. These warning
lights indicate to the pilot an error in the power supply by the respective generator. When one
of these lamps lights up, a reduced charge of the on-board battery can be expected.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS AND FUSES

Most of the electrical circuits in the airplane are protected by "push-to reset" circuit breakers
mounted under the engine controls on the instrument panel. The cigar lighter is equipped with
a manually-reset type circuit breaker located on the back of the lighter and a fuse behind the
instrument panel. The control wheel map light (if installed) is protected by the NAV/DOME
circuit breaker, and a fuse behind the instrument panel. Electrical circuits which are not
protected by circuit breakers are the battery contactor closing (external power) circuit, clock
circuit, and flight hour recorder circuit. These circuits are protected by fuses mounted
adjacent to the battery

LIGHTING SYSTEM

EXTERIOR LIGHTS

Conventional navigation lights are located on the wing tips and top of the rudder. Additional
lighting is available and includes a single or dual landing/taxi light mounted in the cowling
nose cap, a flashing beacon located on top of the vertical fin, and a strobe light installed on
each wing tip. All exterior lights are controlled by rocker switches on the left switch and control
panel. The switches are ON in the up position and OFF in the down position
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
produce vertigo and loss of orientation
Two high-intensity warning lights on the wing tips (optional) increase protection against the
collision. However, the lights should be turned off when taxiing in the vicinity of other aircraft or
while flying through clouds, fog or mist.
