Vertical TailMounted Floodlight

A white light is mounted on the upper leading edge of

the vertical tail and is directed forward to flood the AR

receptacle and upper fuselage. The light illuminates

by the OPEN position of the AIR REFUEL switch.

The floodlight is not NVIS friendly.

Landing and Taxi Lights

A white landing and taxi light assembly is located on

the NLG door. The landing light is angled to

illuminate the landing area. The lights are turned on

by the threeposition LANDING TAXI lights switch

located on the LG control panel. The switch has

positions of LANDING, OFF, and TAXI. The light

goes off during LG retraction if the switch is left in

either the LANDING or TAXI position.  The landing

and taxi lights are not NVIS friendly.

INTERIOR LIGHTING

Refer to figure 161. The interior LIGHTING control

panel, located on the right console, contains the power

and intensity controls for the primary (console and

instrument) and secondary (flood) lighting systems

for the cockpit, 

PX III

 and NVIS (night vision imaging

system). The HIGH INT position of the FLOOD

CONSOLES knob provides thunderstorm lighting.

PX III

 In addition, NVIS operation is provided which

turns off most primary and secondary lights and sets

the warning, caution, and advisory lights to dim.

PX III

 The interior lighting system, with the

exception of the utility light, functions normally

except all lighting is NVIS green. Internal instru

ment lighting has been disabled and replaced with

post and bezel NVIS friendly lighting. Secondary

lighting has been equipped with NVIS green filters to

eliminate IR light. Caution and warning lights have

filters which limit IR emissions to be compatible with

night vision goggles. All interior lighting (except for

one position on the utility light) is NVIS friendly and

invisible through the night vision goggles. Cockpit

instruments must be viewed beneath the goggles.

T.O. GR1F16CJ1

1155

PX III

 When NVIS operation is deselected, all light

control panel functions are returned to normal

operation. All console, instrument, and flood lights

are illuminated to current settings. All warning,

caution, and advisory lights return to bright only if

the PRIMARY INST knob is in HIGH INT or OFF.

PRIMARY CONSOLES Knob

The PRIMARY CONSOLES knob has a cw arrow

pointing toward BRT. Rotating the knob cw varies the

intensity of the primary console and left auxiliary

console lighting from dim to bright. 

PX III

 During

NVIS operation, this lighting is off and rotating the

knob has no effect on lighting intensity.

PRIMARY INST PNL Knob

The PRIMARY INST PNL knob has a cw arrow

pointing toward BRT. Rotating the knob cw varies the

intensity of the forward instrument panel and right

auxiliary console lighting from off to bright. 

PX III

During NVIS operation, rotating the knob cw varies

the intensity of the 

C

 

DF

 ICP, 

DR

 IKP.

DATA ENTRY DISPLAY Knob

The DATA ENTRY DISPLAY knob has a cw arrow

pointing toward BRT. The knob controls the lighting

of the DED and PFLD from dim to bright.

MAL & IND LTS Switch

The MAL & IND LTS switch has positions of BRT and

DIM and a springloaded unmarked center position.

If the PRIMARY INST PNL knob is on, momentary

activation of the switch to DIM places the lighting

system to the dim condition. The system automatical

ly returns to the BRT condition if the FLOOD

CONSOLES knob is turned past the detent to HIGH

INT, if the PRIMARY INST PNL knob is turned off,

or if emergency dc power is lost. The BRT condition

can be manually selected anytime. The switch

controls the light intensity of all the warning, caution,

and indicator lights except the following individually

dimmed lights:

D

AOA indexer.

D

AR/NWS indexer.

D

DED.

D

ECM control panel.

D

MFD's.

D

PFLD.

D

TWS indicators.

PX III

 When the NVIS switch is in ARM, all lights

controlled by the MAL & IND LTS switch are

automatically set and locked to the dim setting and

the MAL & IND LTS switch is inoperative.

FLOOD INST PNL Knob

The FLOOD INST PNL knob has a cw arrow pointing

toward BRT. Rotating the knob cw varies the

floodlights intensity from off to bright. 

PX III

 During

NVIS operation, the floodlights are off and rotating

the knob has no effect on lighting intensity.

FLOOD CONSOLES Knob

The FLOOD CONSOLES knob rotates from OFF to

HIGH INT. Rotating the knob cw varies the console

floodlights intensity from off to bright. If rotated to

HIGH INT, the MAL & IND LTS and instrument

panel floodlights automatically go to bright and the

alphanumeric displays controlled by the DATA

ENTRY DISPLAY knob go to the highest intensity

level. CCW rotation past a certain point restores the

alphanumeric displays to the intensity level set by

the DATA ENTRY DISPLAY knob, but the MAL &

IND LTS switch must be manually reset to DIM, if

dim is desired. 

PX III

 During NVIS operation, the

console floodlights are off and rotating the knob has

no effect on lighting intensity.

NVIS Switch 

PX III

The NVIS switch has three positions: NORM LTG,

ARM, and NVIS. The ARM position is a lever locked

position. The NVIS position is spring loaded and the

switch returns to the ARM position when released.
Functions are:

D

NORM LTG:

When the blackout function is activated, most of the

nonNVIS compatible light sources in the cockpit are

turned off. These include primary flight instruments,

engine instruments, and hydraulic gauges. For a

complete list of the nonNVIS compatible lights which

are not turned off by the blackout function, refer to

GR1F16CJ3411.

HandsOn Blackout (HOBO) Switch 

PX III

The HOBO paddle switch, located on the throttle,

activates/deactivates the blackout function when the

NVIS switch is in ARM.

Utility Light

Refer to figure 162. The utility light, located on the

right console, includes 

PX II

 three, 

PX III

 four

controls:a pushbutton switch to allow momentary

operation at the highest intensity level, an OFF DIM

BRT rotary knob to allow continuous operation at any

desired intensity level, 

PX III

 an NVIS WHITE

selector for NVIS (green) or normal (white) operation,

and a lens housing which, when rotated, adjusts the

beam from flood to spot. To release the light from its

stowed position, lower the knurled collar at the base

of the light and it will pop free. The light can be locked

back into position by placing the body of the light

parallel to the sidewall fairing and pushing down

firmly on the light assembly. With the canopy closed,

the utility light may be attached to an adjustable

sliding holder located on the right body positioning

handle (towel rack). The light is powered by battery

bus No. 1.

Cockpit Spotlights

Refer to figure 162.

 

The cockpit spotlights are located

under the upper left and right glareshields. In the

stowed position (horizontal, facing forward), the

spotlight is off. The spotlight is turned on by pulling

the spotlight barrel downward. Illumination intensity

is controlled by turning the knurled barrel (dimmer).

To turn the spotlight off, return it to the stowed

position. Overrotation of the knurled barrel may

cause breakage of the bulb or rheostat. The lights are

powered by battery bus No. 1.

ESCAPE SYSTEM

CANOPY

The canopy is a twopiece, plastic, bubbletype,

transparent enclosure. The forward part is a single

piece windshieldcanopy transparency, which is

hinged at the aft end and is unlatched, opened, or

closed/latched by an electrically operated actuator

with a manual backup. 

C

 A smaller fixed

transparency fairs to the fuselage aft of the seat. The

canopy may be jettisoned by internal controls for

inflight or ground escape and by external controls

for ground rescue. An inflatable pressurization seal

on the cockpit sill mates with the edge of the movable

canopy. A noninflatable rubber seal on the canopy

prevents the entry of water when the cockpit is not

pressurized.

The canopy provides some bird strike protection. Bird

strikes on centerline at approximately eye level may

produce enough canopy deflection to shatter the HUD

combiner glass and cause rearward propagation of a

deflection wave. Deflection of the canopy in the area

of the pilot's helmet has been observed to be 1 to 2

inches during bird strike tests that were considered

successful. Successful completion of canopy bird

strike testing (4 pound bird at 350 or 550 knots,

depending on canopy) requires that the canopy not

deflect more than 2 1/4 inches in the area of the pilot's

helmet. This may be a consideration for adjusting

seat height, especially while flying at lower altitudes

with helmetmounted equipment. Impacts off center

may not shatter the HUD glass. High energy bird

strikes may cause canopy penetration or larger

deflection waves.

CANOPY CONTROLS AND INDICATORS

Refer to figure 163.

MANUAL CANOPY CONTROL Handcrank

C

 

DF

 An internal MANUAL CANOPY CONTROL

handcrank manually performs the same function as

the canopy switch. Due to the strength required to

open the canopy with the handcrank, the method

should be considered a last resort.

An external flushmounted CANOPY handcrank

receptacle just opposite the inside manual drive is

used for ground crew manual operation of the canopy.

Canopy Handle  

C

 

DF

The canopy handle, located on the canopy sill just

forward of the throttle, hinges down to cover and

protect the internal canopy switch. The handle also

functions to inflate/deflate the canopy pressure seal,

to turn the CANOPY warning light off/on, and to

mechanically prevent the canopy actuator from

unlatching. The canopy handle should be in the up

(unlock) position prior to lowering the canopy.
