Smalley Manager, Systems and Flight Test Branch Chicago Aircraft Certification Office ( Title) FAA FORM 8110-2-1(10-69) PAGE 3 of 3 PAGES Number SA917EA Date Reissued: June 4, 2007 Limitations and Conditions: Cont. 2. To complete the approval of these lights as anticollision light systems, the installations on individual aircraft must be checked to show compliance with FAR 23.1401 (b) (Field of Coverage). The Instruction Sheets contain an acceptable method for checking the adequacy of coverage when using two lights (wing tips) or three lights (wing tips and tail lights). NOTE: Field of coverage requirements must be met after masking (if any) is installed. 3. The following placard must be mounted in front and in plain view of the pilot and in reasonably close proximity to the stro be light switch: “CAUTION: TURN OFF STROBE LIGHT WHEN TAXIING NEAR OTHER AIRCRAFT OR WHEN FLYING IN FOG OR CLOUDS. STANDARD POSITION LIGHTS MUST BE USED FOR ALL NIGHT OPERATIONS.” 4. This approval should not be extended to other aircraft of these models on which other previously approved modifications are incorporated, unless it is determined by the installer that the interrelationship between this ch ange and any of those other previously approved modifications will introduce no adverse effect upon the airworthiness of those aircraft. This determination should include a night flight check as specified in AC 43.13-2 Chapter 4, Paragraph 42a. 5. NOTE: At this time, aircraft whose application for type certificate was made before April 1, 1957 may, but need not comply with the field of coverage requirements of FAR 23.1401 (b). These aircraft must comply with the requirements that the lights will not be detrimental to the flight crew’s vision or detract from the conspicuity of the position lights (i.e., does not physically obstruct the field of coverage of the position lights). 6. If the holder agrees to permit another person to use this certificate to alter the product, the holder shall give the other person written evidence of that permission. …END… ## Every issue (1) - June 4, 2007: Reissued, Current.
