Navigation Lights

The navigation lights, red on the left wing tip, green on the right wing tip, and white on the tail

cone, are controlled by a three-position switch labeled NAV LTS, BRIGHT, DIM, OFF located

on the right console in the front cockpit ONLY.

Anticollision (Strobe) Lights

Three high-intensity white strobe lights, one on each wing tip and one on the tail cone, are

controlled by a two-position circuit breaker type switch on the right console in the front cockpit.

These high-intensity flashing lights are visible for greater distances than the conventional

rotating beacon. Typically the strobe lights will be on prior to propeller rotation and until the

Wing Tip Glareshields

Wing tip glareshields prevent the strobe lights from shining in the pilots' eyes. Each glareshield

has two holes which allow both pilots to check the illumination of the navigation lights.
