The request for authorization to install an alternate lighting system sha
24、ll be made before the lighting mockup inspection and shall include samples, photographs, drawings, or other data to indicate its superiority over the requirements of this specification for installation in the particular aircraft under consideration. The right is reserved to require the contractor to
25、 mock up both the alternate and the standard installations. SAE INTERNATIONAL AS18276B Page 4 of 8 3.5.2 Installation of Equipment All items of lighting equipment specified for installation shall conform to their respective drawings, specifications, or both,and shall be installed without modificatio
26、n, except for electrical leads. 3.5.3 Selection of Lights When specified by the procuring activity, as soon as possible after each instrument panel design or design change has been determined, the contractor shall furnish the procuring activity with one sample of each instrument panel, the instrumen
27、t panel drawings involved, or both, for use by the procuring activity for lighting studies before making recommendations relative to the types of lights to be used. The drawings shall show the layout of each instrument panel and the relative position of the crew members normal eye level with respect
28、 to the instrument panel under his observation.3.5.4 Mockup In order to determine the adequacy of the instrument lighting systems for each new model aircraft, or modification thereof, which would affect the design of the instrument panel layout or the lighting system, a complete mockup or a 3 D ligh
29、ting simulation (if agreed with procuring activity) of the instrument lighting system involved shall be prepared by the aircraft contractor for inspection and approval by the procuring activity. The mockup shall be provided with the actual lighting equipment and instruments or models of instruments
30、to be illuminated, insofar as practicable, which will afford a reasonable indication of the effectiveness of the lighting involved. Cardboard templates of instrument dials will not be satisfactory for this mockup. 3.5.5 Instrument Lighting Systems The instruments shall be provided with primary and s
31、econdary lighting systems. 3.5.5.1 Primary Lighting System The primary lighting system shall consist of integrally lighted instruments using MIL-L-25467 as a guide. The color of the instrument lighting shall be IPL - Red or IPL - White as dictated by operational requirements. When NVG lighting is sp
32、ecified then the requirements of MIL-STD-3009 shall apply. 3.5.5.2 Secondary Lighting System The secondary instrument lighting system shall be provided with lights in accordance with AS25027 or as agreed with the procuring activity. Sufficient lights shall be employed to provide adequate illuminatio
33、n subject to the mockup approval. Where practicable, these lights shall be installed under the glare shield of the instrument panel, as far away from the instrument panel as practicable. 3.5.6 Console Lighting System The consoles shall be provided with primary and secondary lighting systems. 3.5.6.1
34、 Primary Lighting System The primary console lighting system shall consist of integrally lighted information panels conforming to MIL-DTL-7788.

35、condary Lighting Systems The secondary console lighting system shall provide visibility of switch handles, knobs, and controls. The fixtures employed shall be as approved by the procuring activity. Sufficient fixtures shall be employed to adequately light the switch handles, knobs, and controls. SAE
36、 INTERNATIONAL AS18276B Page 5 of 8 3.5.7 Emergency Lighting System An emergency lighting system shall be provided for use in the event of failure of the primary and secondary instrument lighting systems or the primary console lighting system. If the secondary console lighting fixtures can be remove
37、d from their bases for hand holding, these lights may be employed for the emergency lights. The emergency lights shall be readily changeable from red to white light while in use. At least one of the emergency lights shall be directable by hand or movable from its base to within 2 feet of all parts o
38、f the cockpit. 3.5.8 High Intensity Lighting System Aircraft which have a service ceiling higher than 40 000 feet or are designed to deliver nuclear weapons for air or surface burst, shall be provided with an additional system for illuminating the instrument panels and consoles with white light. The
39、 illumination provided shall be a minimum of 150 foot-candle for the primary flight instruments and a minimum of 75 foot-candle for other instruments and controls in the cockpit. Continuously variable manual control shall be provided. In addition, in aircraft equipped with an automatic thermal prote

For lights which are usually used by two crewmen, one lighting control panel convenient for operation by both of those crewmen shall be provided. Where required for satisfactory control because of the great number of instruments,
44、consoles lit, or because some are overhead and some below eye level, etc., two lighting control panels shall be provided. Each lighting control panel which controls lighting of both flightand nonflight instruments of which the flight instruments constitute a total of more than four instruments, or m
45、ore than one quarter of the total number of instruments, or both, shall have separate controls for the primary lighting of the flight and nonflight instruments. All other lighting control panels which control lighting of both flight and nonflight instruments shallhave one control for the primary lig
