EMERGENCY LIGHTS
The emergency lights provide illumination for emergency egress at night and
comprise:
• two internal emergency dome lights
• two external emergency lights
• two battery packs
The internal emergency dome lights are installed in the center of the cabin
ceiling to provide general lighting in the passenger cabin.
The external emergency lights are installed on the right and left sponsons
leading edge, outboard position, to illuminate the ground surface.
All emergency lights are supplied by two rechargeable battery packs
installed in the nose compartment.
The emergency lights are controlled by the EMERG switch on the LT control
panel on the central console and by a push-button switch located in the
passenger area.
The emergency light battery packs are recharged when the EMERG switch
is in OFF or ARM and the ESS 1 bus is powered.
With the EMERG switch set to ARM, loss of power on the ESS 1 bus causes
the automatic illumination of the emergency lights.
The emergency lights can be manually turned on either by the pilot (EMERG
switch at ON) or by the passengers (EMERG LIGHT push-button in the
cabin).
