  2. Aircraft Lighting • Strobe Lights • Position Lights • Controllable Spotlights • Pulse Lights • Interior Lights 12-

  3. Strobe Lights • The strobe light system in this A/C has been modified from the original military rotating beacon style of anti-collision light system. • This A/C uses a Whelen three strobe system an upper and lower red strobe light and an additional white upper light. • The red strobes are a requirement by the FAA and the Type Certificate, the white light is a U.S. Forest Service requirement for firefighting for visibility from above. • The upper strobe assembly is mounted on the top of the pylon. The red strobe is on cone shaped mounting bracket, the white strobe is on the lower hat section. 12-

  4. The lower strobe is mounted under the lower nose, the light is red and mounted on a cone similar to the upper red strobe. Strobe System 12-

  5. Position Lights • The Position lights consists of a red light on the left landing gear support, a green light on the right landing gear support and a white light on the pylon fairing, which are controlled by the co-pilot’s lighting control panel POSITION - FLASH - OFF switch and DIM - BRT switch. When on, the lights indicate helicopter position during flight. 12-

  6. Controllable Spotlights • The pilot and co-pilot have separate controllable spotlights. The spotlights are located on the nose electronic compartment door and the controllable spotlight is mounted on the aft pilot’s compartment bulkhead. 12-

  7. Pulse Lights • The Pulselight Model 2401S control unit is an electrical component that will apply regulated pulsing power to the forward controllable spotlights mounted to the nose electronic compartment door. • Pulsing the landing lights enhances the aircraft flight path recognition quality and may be utilized any time the pilot desires. By flashing the landing lights at approx. 46 times per minute, in a variety of patterns, the Pulselight control unit creates the illusion of exaggerated motion that other pilots can immediately recognize and avoid. 12-

  8. Interior Lights • Dome Lights: The dome light panel on the overhead control panel consists of lights and a switch giving the pilot a choice of red or white cockpit lights. • The intensity on the red lamp may be varied by turning the INTRUMENT SECONDARY LTS rheostat on the pilot’s lighting control panel. • When the switch placed to WHITE, the white lamp will go on with non-variable intensity. • If the white lamp malfunctions or if the switch is placed OFF, the INSTRUMENT SECONDARY LTS rheostat may be used to light the red light. • However, placing the switch to RED will light the red lamp and disable the rheostat. 12-

  9. Interior Lights • Instrument lights : Shielded instruments panel lights are provided for all instruments. • The flight and non flight instruments of the pilot and co-pilot are controlled by the NON FLIGHT INST LTS rheostat, and the PILOT FLIGHT INST LTS rheostat on the overhead panel. • The caution - advisory panel and associated system warning lights may be dimmed whenever the PILOT FLIGHT INST LTS rheostat is not turned fully clockwise to BRT. • When the BRT - DIM switch is placed to BRT all the lights go on fully. Pressing the momentary LAMP TEST switch illuminates all caution advisory panel lights for testing purposes. • The left side instrument panel lights are controlled by the COPILOT INST rheostat on the internal lights panel on the overhead console. 12-
