EXTERNAL LIGHTING
External lighting is simulated identical to the real aircraft. The external lights comprise:
- Landing and taxi lighting
The CRJ has three landing lights – one in each wing’s leading edge and one installed on the nose gear.
The 2 taxi lights are installed next to the landing lights in the wind’s leading edge.
- Navigation lighting
The navigation lights are installed in each wingtip. Each navigation light assembly consists of two lights
– two green lights on the right hand side and two red lights on the left hand side.
The lights are controlled via the NAV light switch on the overhead panel.
- Beacon light
Two beacon lights are installed on the CRJ – one on top of the fuselage and the other one on the
bottom of the fuselage. Activated beacon lights indicate that the aircraft is powered and the engines
may be running.
The BEACON light switch controls the beacon lights.
- Anti-Collision strobe lights
Three anti-collision lights are installed on the aircraft. Two on either wingtip and one on the aft end of
the vertical stabilizer. The anti-collision lights flash continuously as soon as activated and are normally
activated after take-off clearance is received and switched off when leaving the runway.
The STROBE switch is used to switch the anti-collision lights on and off.
- Logo lights
As the name suggests the logo lights illuminate the aircrafts logo depicted on the tail. Two white lights
are installed in the engine pylons – one on either side.
The lights are controlled by the LOGO switch.
- Wing inspection lighting
The wing inspection lights are used to inspect the forward part of the wing for ice accumulation. The
wing inspection lights are installed on either side of the fuselage and controlled by the WING INSP
switch.
