Gear and cockpit lights

[max22]

Where can I find the settings for gear lights (front) and cockpit lights ? Thanks

[Harker]

The landing light switch is located on the left console, kinda below the gear lever and the cockpit light controls are on the right side console, to the right of the pilot.

 

Check the manual or Chuck's guide, you'll find everything you need, with pictures.

Thanks Harker !

 

Made some progress.

Regarding cockpit light controls, am I correct that its all on the right panel below the Anti-Ice switch?

This cockpit seems darker than a well-diggers ass at night; I can't even find these switches before lighting up some generator juice.

Am I missing something during the early phase of startup to illuminate the cockpit? Is there a spotlight like the A-10 so I can visually/mentally review the cockpit before initiating the startup procedure?

Yes, the cockpit lighting panel is behind the ice switch. You can use the flashlight or NVGs in the beginning, if you can't see anything

NVG probably require power from Gen after startup, not able to test right now.

 

Flashlight....didn't know there was a working flashlight, can you elaborate. That might solve my dilemma :)

Nvg's is battery powered to my knowledge.

Search your controls for flashlight :)

NOTE: The flashlight batteries do die, but they are good for an entire start-up sequence. You can also change the color from white to green. ;)

@macedk...."Search your controls for flashlight "

 

Clever....you could've mentioned doing that with LAlt-L and saved me a little time but I enjoyed the hunt. Thanks...learned a little more today:doh:

 

Kinda of an important key binding as it gives a lot better view of cockpit then the installed lighting, especially for newer pilots in this a/c

Just a heads up if someone tells you to search for "this" it might be because they have remapped that binding to something else and no longer know the default binding is.
