Exterior Lighting
Anti-Collision Lights
The Anti-Collision lights consist of Upper and Lower strobe lights.
The Anti-Collision lights are controlled by the Anti-Collision Lights Switch on the Overhead Console.
Position Lights
The Position Lights consist of red, green and white lights found on the tail section of the aircraft.
The Position Lights have three modes – OFF, DIM and BRIGHT.
The modes can be selected using the three-way Position Lights Switch on the Overhead Console.
Searchlight
The searchlight is a controllable light, located in the underside of the nose section. The light is controlled by two switches labelled SRCH LT on the pilot collective control head (3, 4, Figure 2-19). The searchlight can be turned on by the three-position toggle switch labelled ON, NVG, OFF.
Placing the switch in the ON position turns on the white searchlight. The center, or NVG position, turns on an NVG-compatible light, and the OFF position turns off both lights. The searchlight control switch, labelled EXT, RET, L, R, is center spring-loaded off. The switch controls searchlight direction. The light receives power through the battery emergency bus and is protected by the SRCH LT CONTR and SRCH LT PWR circuit breakers.
Formation Lights
Six white infrared (IR) NVG-compatible formation lights are mounted on the aircraft. Two forward lights are mounted on the left and right top of the nose section. One is mounted in the lower forward area of the aft electronics bay door. One is mounted aft of the lower anticollision light and just above the tiedown mount. One is mounted on top of the tail cone structural support, and one is mounted on the right side of the fuselage in the avionics bay area.
The POS LT circuit breaker located on the aft overhead console panel, protects the circuit for the NVG formation lights. File:Lights posn cb.png
Operation of the NVG formation lights is controlled by the FORMATION LIGHTS rotary switch located next to the overhead console panels.
When the knob is rotated just out of the OFF position, the lights are at minimum intensity, when the knob is rotated to the BRT position the lights are at maximum intensity
