                           PART 1-DESCRIPTIVE

    34.  Internal lighting

    (a)  Front cockpit
         The instrument panel and starboard switch panel are illu-
         minated by red and u/v lamps, controlled by dimmer
         switches (50)(57) at the base of the instrument panel.  The
         auxiliary lights are controlled by a dimmer switch (16)
         under the port decking.

    (b)  Rear cockpit
         The instrument panel is illuminated by red and u/v lamps,
         controlled by dimmers (116)(115) on the starboard wall.
         The auxiliary lamps are controlled by a dimmer switch
         (101) beside the trimmer controls, on the port side.  When
         a j.p.t. gauge is fitted, its lamp is controlled by a dimmer
         switch (107) on the left of the instrument panel.

    (c)  Emergency lighting
         Each cockpit has a separate alkaline battery to supply the
         emergency lamps.  The lamp in the front cockpit is con-
         trolled by a dimmer switch (76) on the starboard wall,
         while that for the rear cockpit is controlled by a dimmer
         switch (117) beside the red lamps dimmer switch.

    35.  External lighting

    (a)  All external lighting is controlled from the front cockpit
         only.

    (b)  The switches  for the navigation lights (62), the resin lights
         (60), the downward identification colour selector (66) and
         the downward identification morsing pushbutton (67) are
         grouped together on the starboard switch panel.

    (c)  The landing lamp under the port wing is controlled by an
         OFF-LOW-HIGH switch (18) on the cockpit port shelf.
         When switched to LOW, the motor moves the lamp to the
         half-extended position and switches on the lamp.  When
         switched to HIGH, the lamp extends fully.  The lamp
         should not extend at speeds above 175 knots.
