NOTE 5. Prior to obtaining certification for night operation, the following modifications to the exterior lighting must be made in order to comply with the general requirements of the Civil Air Regulations: Position lights (a) Wing Tif - If type A-7 or A-8 light assemblies are installed, they must be replaced with type certificated light assemblies. If type A-9 (AN-3033-10 or AN-3033-5 through -8) light assemblies installed, they may be satisfactorily modified by painting che sand blasted portion of the inner surface of the AN-1042-3 and -4 covers black. The AN-3033-1 through -4 light assemblies are satisfactory without modification. rail - The present lights on the vertical stabilizers are not satisfactory and must be replaced with type certificated units. Position light installation The position lights shall be installed to comply with the require- ment of the CAR, Parts 15.2 and 3.538. Position light circuit and control The position lights (wing tips and tail) shall be controlled by one SPST switch. The circuit should be protected by its own fuse or circuit breaker. The individual wing tip and tail light switches with dim and bright positions shall be removed and the dimming resistors presently installed shall be disconnected. Other exterior lights with the exception of the landing lights, any other exterior lights are not required and may be removed if so desired.
