Annunciator light dimming description

The annunciator lights comprises 2 or 4 bulbs (28V ; 0.67W )
installed in parallel.
The bright and dim modes are controlled by ANN LT switch 2LP
located on overhead panel 22VU.
This switch controls the transistors, which ensure annunciator light
dimming.

Annunciator light dimming operation

When the switch is in BRIGHT position, the diming units located in
zone 212 are supplied. The transistors are in the passing state and
the resistances are short-circuited.

Taxi / Take Off Lights
An adequate illumination of pilots field of vision during taxi
manoeuvres is provided by Taxi/Take Off light installed on the nose
landing gear and controlled by a switch.

The system consists of:

- two L and R taxi and takeoff lights, 3LR and 6LR installed side by
side on the nose landing gear leg;
-one taxi EXT/LT switch 1LR located on the overhead panel
EXT/LT in the flight compartment;

The lights are supplied by 115VACW and each is equipped with a

150W lamp of sealed beam type and an autotransformer.

The lights come on by selecting the TAXI position of the

corresponding control switch.

If the landing gear selector lever is in ''DOWN'' position, the power

relay 4LR allows the lights to be supplied with 115VAC.

TAXI and TAKE-OFF lights supply is automatically cut off as soon

as the landing gear lever is selected to UP.

Logo Lighting
The Illumination of the company sign, located on the vertical fin, is
provided by two lights installed on the horizontal stabiliser lower
surface and controlled by a switch.

The system consist of:

- two L and R lights 3LY (4LY) installed on both sides of the
horizontal stabiliser lower surface, close to the leading edge;
-one logo/EXT LT switch 1LY installed on the overhead panel EXT
LT section 27VU in the flight compartment;

Each light is equipped with a 90W lamp and a lens deflector, which
gives the deviation necessary to direct the beam towards the
vertical fin surface.

The lights are supplied by 28VDC service bus through circuit

breaker 2LY.

The lights come on by selecting the LOGO position of the

corresponding control switch.

Anticollision Lighting
Collision in flight are prevented by two red flashing lights installed
respectively on the uppermost and lowest points of the aircraft and
controlled by a switch.

The system consists of:

- one top anticollision light 5LV, installed on the vertical fin tip;
- one bottom anticollision light 9LV, installed on the bottom of the
main landing gear fairing;
- a top anticollision light power supply unit 3LV;
- a bottom anticollision light power supply unit 7LV;
- one beacon EXT LT switch 1LV, in the flight compartment;
- one top LT anticollision varistor 15LV installed on the fin tip.

Each light is equipped with a 45W lamp and a transformer, which

has the purpose to convert the input voltage from low to high value.

The lights come on by selecting the BEACON position of the

control switch 1LV. Under normal condition, the feed relay 6LV is
excited, allowing the power supply units feeding by 28VDC service
bus. In case of service bus failure, the feed relay, no more
energized provides automatically to transfer the feeding line to
main bus 1.

The power supply units provide for converting the 28VDC in 400V
impulse current necessary for lights functioning.

BEACON switch can be equipped with a third position :TWG . It

allows the anticollision lights to be supplied by 28VDC Gnd Hdlg xfr
Bus for towing operation at night.

Wing and Engine Scan Lighting
Monitoring of critical areas, such as wings and engines during flight
under ice conditions, is allowed by two lights installed on the
fuselage and controlled by a switch.

The system consists of:

- one L wing and ENG/SCAN light 3LX installed on the cargo door;
- one R wing and ENG/SCAN light 6LX installed on the side of the
fuselage forward section;
-one wing EXT/LT switch in the flight compartment.

Each light consists of a 28VDC, 100W lamp of the sealed deviation

type necessary to direct the beam towards the wing leading edge
and the engine air intake.

The wing and engine scan lights come on by selecting the WING
position of the corresponding control switch.

Emergency lighting
General
The emergency lighting system has the purpose to guide the
airplane occupants to the exits in case of essential power failure. In
case of activation, the system has a 10 minutes capacity.

Description
The emergency lighting system is independent from the main
lighting system.
We can consider interior and exterior lighting.

Interior lighting consists of :

- 4 power supply units
- 4 dome lights located in the ceiling in the passenger compartment
- 2 EXIT signs located at each end of the passenger compartment
and showing the location of emergency exits
- 4 EXIT signs located above or next to the emergency exits
- 4 EXIT signs located next to the emergency exits, in the vicinity of
the floor
- 2 photo luminescent strips located at floor level, on the right and
left side, below armrests enabling aisle lighting.

Note : Photo luminescent Floor Proximity Emergency escape Path

Marking based on the use of a material which is able to store natural
or electrical light energy and to restore this energy gradually in the
form of light in the dark. The minimum “rechargeable” time
recommended before each flight is 15 minutes in order to obtain full
lighting in case of an emergency evacuation.

Exterior lighting consists of :

- 3 floodlights located on the fuselage for lighting of the ground
-1 stair integrated ground floodlight.
