and burnt out?

3. What is the difference between Halogen lamp and Incandecent lamp?

4. What make the Halogen filament last longer than Incandecent filament?

5. Why is a fluorescent tube more efficient than an incandescent lamp?

6. How could the flourescent light become a visible light?

7. What should be done in the flight deck instrumentation lighting if the

aircraft is categorized for its operational of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)?

are needed to keep as spares on the aircraft?

11. What type of general arrangement lighting used in cargo bay area?

12. What is the implication, if one navigation light fails on the C of A aircraft?

13. Where are the navigation lights to be located and indicate its colors?
14. Give five (5) types of lighting in a passenger/cabin area and the purpose for each type?
 15.By referring to the wiring above what is the purpose of variable transformer
and what is the electrical element (V, I or R) does it vary?

16. Which type of lighting or lamp can only have two level of brightness control
(i.e. bright and dim)?
17.

The above diagram shows another type of producing a flashing light.

What is the principle or method used for this type?
