Questions on Lighting

[Lonecrow66]

I've seen screens I've seen others with the wingtip lights on etc, but I've never been able to get mine going. I usually end up giving up.

 

I know the nose wheel lights are for taxi, takeoff and landing. I know the far right back panel is for lighting. I have turned ON the strobe, turned the dial so it is full bright. I've played with all the dials and can't get the external lights to work.

 

Someone make a really short youtube or something? I'm just not getting it. Even though the manual talks about how to turn them on. I turn them on and it just doesn't show.

 

The formation dial is full on.. If I click on the anti collision light it flips up and then just auto goes back down.

 

Small thing but never got mine going. Maybe just not visible during the day?

Take a look at page 158 in the flight manual. Read the section about the pinky switch. When you start off the pinky switch is in the center position I think which will cut out most external lighting.

 

Edit: I usually use LCTRL + P to allow me to turn the lights on and when I'm in the air and about to ingress I cut them with LSHIFT + P.

Q: Why are my NAV lights not working.

A: They work, you need to set the pinkie switch to the aft position (LCtrl+P) on the left side of the throttle.

Ahhh thanks. You know I've never needed to use the pinkie switch yet. Was wondering what they were for.
