1、Designation: F3234/F3234M 17Standard Specification forExterior Lighting in Small Aircraft1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F3234/F3234M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.

2、A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers international standards for theexterior lighting aspects of airworthiness and design for“small” aircraft.1.

3、2 The applicant for a design approval must seek theindividual guidance of their respective CAA body concerningthe use of this specification as part of a certification plan. Forinformation on which CAA regulatory bodies have acceptedthis specification (in whole or in part) as a means of compli-ance t

4、o their Small Aircraft Airworthiness regulations (herein-after referred to as “the Rules”), refer to ASTM F44 webpage(www.ASTM.org/COMMITTEE/F44.htm) which includesCAA website links.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stat

5、ed ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

6、 It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Referenced Documents2.1 Following is a list of external standards referencedthroughout this specification; the earlie

7、st revision acceptablefor use is indicated. In all cases later document revisions areacceptable if shown to be equivalent to the listed revision, or ifotherwise formally accepted by the governing civil aviationauthority; earlier revisions are not acceptable.2.2 ASTM Standards:2F3060 Terminology for

9、ation is providedbelow. For general terminology, refer to Terminology F3060.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 aircraft type code, nan Aircraft Type Code (ATC) isdefined by considering both the technical considerations re-garding the design of the aircraft and the airworthiness

10、 levelestablished based upon risk-based criteria; the method ofdefining an ATC applicable to this specification is defined inSpecification F3061/F3061M.4. Exterior LightingNOTE 1Table 1 provides correlation between various Aircraft TypeCodes and the individual requirements contained within this sect

11、ion; referto 3.2.1. For each subsection, an indicator can be found under each ATCcharacter field; three indicators are used:An empty cell ( ) in all applicable ATC character field columnsindicates that an aircraft must meet the requirements of that subsection.A white circle () in multiple columns in

12、dicates that the requirementsof that subsection are not applicable to an aircraft only if all such ATCcharacter fields are applicable.A mark-out () in any of the applicable ATC character field columnsindicates that the requirements of that subsection are not applicable to anaircraft if that ATC char

13、acter field is applicable.ExampleAn aircraft with anATC of 1SRLLDLN is being considered.Since all applicable columns are empty for 4.2.1, that subsection isapplicable to the aircraft; however, since the “D” meteorological columnfor 4.1.1 contains an , then that subsection is not applicable.4.1 Taxi

14、and Landing Lights:4.1.1 Each taxi and landing light must be designed andinstalled so that no dangerous glare is visible to the pilots.4.1.2 Each taxi and landing light must be designed andinstalled so that the pilot is not seriously affected by halation.4.1.3 Each taxi and landing light must be des

15、igned andinstalled so that it provides enough light for night operations.1This specification is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee F44 on GeneralAviation Aircraft and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F44.50 onSystems and Equipment.Current edition approved Feb. 15, 2017.

19、 a fire hazard in anyconfiguration.4.2 Position Light Systems:4.2.1 Each part of each position light system must meet theapplicable requirements of this section, and each system as awhole must meet the requirements of SAE AS8037.4.2.2 Left and right position lights must consist of a red andgreen lig

20、ht spaced laterally as far apart as practicable andinstalled on the aircraft such that, with the aircraft in thenormal flying position, the red light is on the left side and thegreen light is on the right side.4.2.3 The rear position light must be a white light mountedas far aft as practicable on th

21、e tail or on each wing tip.4.2.4 Each light cover or color filter must be at least flameresistant and may not change color or shape or lose anyappreciable light transmission during normal use.4.3 Position Light Dihedral Angles:4.3.1 Dihedral angles are defined in SAE AS8037.4.3.2 Except as provided

22、in 4.3.3, each position light must,as installed, show unbroken light within the dihedral anglesdefined in 4.3.1.4.3.3 If the rear position light, when mounted as far aft aspracticable in accordance with 4.2.3, cannot show unbrokenlight within a dihedral angleAas defined in 4.3.1, a solid angle,or an
