## Discrepancy

DURING PREFLIGHT INSPECTION, FLIGHT CREW REPORTED THAT THE TAIL CONE LIGHT WAS INOPERATIVE. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN THE EMERGENCY LIGHTING SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED, MULTIPLE CEILING LIGHTS DID NOT ILLUMINATE AS REQUIRED. THE EMERGENCY EXIT LIGHT AT THE L2 DOOR WAS ALSO FOUND INOPERATIVE. THE DISCREPANCIES WERE IDENTIFIED ON THE GROUND AND RECORDED IN THE AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE LOG. MAINTENANCE PERFORMED TROUBLESHOOTING AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE PROCEDURES, AND THE SYSTEM WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE AFTER SATISFACTORY OPERATIONAL CHECKS.
