GENERAL
An overhead light control panel in the cockpit contains controls for instrument panel and cockpit
lighting (Figure 3-1). Each light group has an individual rheostat switch labeled BRT–OFF. The
MASTER PANEL LIGHTS switch controls power to the overhead light control panel lights, fuel control
panel lights, engine instrument lights, radio panel lights, both subpanels and the console lights, pilot
and copilot instrument lights, and gyro instrument lights. Separate rheostat switches individually control
the instrument indirect lighting and the overhead floodlights.

A FREE–AIR–TEMPERATURE gage is located on the left sidewall aft of the fuel panel. For
BB-1439, 1444 and subsequent, a digital display indicates the free air temperature in Celsius. Prior to
BB-1444, excluding 1439, an analog temperature display also indicates the temperature in Celsius.

A switch on the copilot’s left subpanel labeled BRIGHT–DIM–OFF (prior to BB-1444, excluding
1439, it is labeled START/BRIGHT– DIM–OFF) (Figure 3-2) controls the fluorescent overhead cabin
lights. To the right of the interior light switch is a switch labeled NO SMOKE & FSB–FSB–OFF. It
controls the NO SMOKING–FASTEN SEAT BELT sign and the accompanying chimes.

A pushbutton switch next to each light controls the individual passenger reading lights along
the top of the cabin.

A switch just inside the airstair door aft of the doorframe controls a baggage-area light.

A threshold light located forward of the airstair door at floor level, and an aisle light located at
floor level aft of the spar cover, are controlled by a switch next to the threshold light. When the airstair
is open, these lights come on; when it is closed and locked, they automatically extinguish. A flush-
mounted flood-light forward of the flaps in the bottom of the left wing and under the stair lights are also
con- trolled by the threshold light switch. They illuminate the area around the airstair when it is open
and the switch is turned on.

Switches for the landing lights, taxi light, ice lights, navigation lights, recognition lights, beacons,
and strobe lights are located on the pilot’s right subpanel (Figure 3-3). They are appropriately labeled
as to the specific function.

Tail floodlights, if installed, are controlled by a switch located either on the overhead panel or
the pilot’s right subpanel.

Master Panel Lights Switch

The switch labeled MASTER PANEL LIGHTS controls power to the overhead light control
panel, fuel control panel, engine instruments, radio panel, both subpanels, the console, and the pilot’s
and copilot’s instrument lights. These lights can be adjusted individually with the individual rheostats,
but are conveniently shut off or turned on with this MASTER PANEL light switch (Figure 3-1).

Free Air Temperature Switch

On BB-1439, 1444 and subsequent aircraft, a seven segment digital display, located on the
sidewall, indicates the free air temperature in Celsius. When the adjacent button is depressed,
Fahrenheit is displayed (Figure 3-8).

Prior to BB-1444, excluding 1439, the switch labeled FREE AIR TEMP controls the post lights
in the immediate area of the outside air temperature gage. The switch is located either next to the gage
on the sidewall panel or on the overhead lighting control panel (Figure 3-9).

CABIN
Fluorescent Lights
The fluorescent cabin lights are controlled by a switch (Figure 3-10) on the copilot’s sub-panel.
The switch positions are BRIGHT– DIM–OFF. (Prior to BB-1444, except 1439, this switch is labeled
START/BRIGHT–DIM–OFF. The switch must be positioned to START/BRIGHT until the lights
illuminate before being moved to DIM.)

Passenger Warning Sign

A sign to warn passengers not to smoke and/or to fasten their seat belts (Figure 3-11) is con-
trolled by a switch on the copilot’s subpanel. The switch has three positions which are NO SMOKE &
FSB–FSB–OFF. In FSB, the FAS- TEN SEAT BELT portion of the sign illuminates. The NO SMOKING
and FASTEN SEAT BELT positions are illuminated in the NO SMOKE & FSB position, with accompany-
ing chimes.

Reading Lights
Switches next to each light control individual overhead reading lights (Figure 3-12). These lights
are powered from the No. 2 dual-fed bus.

Threshold and Aisle Lights

A light at floor level, forward of the airstair door (Figure 3-13) is designed to illuminate the
threshold. Another light, located at floor level aft of the spar cover, illuminates the aisle. Both lights are
automatically turned on by a switch when the door is opened and turned off when the door is closed
and locked if the adjacent rocker switch is placed to the ON position.

Baggage Area Light

A switch just inside and aft of the airstair doorframe controls a baggage area light. This switch
is wired to the hot battery bus and does not automatically shut off when the airstair is closed.

Passenger Oxygen Switch

When oxygen flows into the passenger oxygen system supply line, a pressure-sensitive switch
in the line closes a circuit to illuminate the green PASS OXYGEN ON annunciator on the caution-
advisory annunciator panel. On series beginning with 1979 models, this switch will also cause the cabin
lights, the vestibule light, and the baggage compartment light to illuminate in the full-bright mode,
regardless of the position of the cabin lights switch.
