External Lighting operation


Donut

Recommended Posts

What is the standard procedure for operating the external lighting in the F-16?

 

Anti-Collision: When are they turned on and what are the different flash modes used for?

Flash/Steady: When is flash or steady used?

Wing/Tail/Fuselage: When are these turned on?

 

The formation lights and master covert seem self explanatory.

 

Thanks for the help!

it depends on every squadron or airforce SOP

 

e.g during Leak check the nav lights are steady after internal and external check complete the nav lights return to flash ....during taxi and positioning for takeoff the nav lights could flash

 

In addition to the lights console block50, CCIP has the ability to change the pattern of a strobe light in order during some specific operations to know each member is without to communicate

 

e.g the leader strobes one time every one sec , wingman 2 strobes every one-sec number three-member three strobes every one sec

 

 

 

i could add some code how the lights work

one stobe

StrobeOnTime 0.025 sec

StrobeOffTime 1.5 sec

WingFlashOnTime 0.5 sec

WingFlashOffTime 0.25 sec

 

or

two strobes

StrobeOnTime 0.025 sec

StrobeOffTime 0.75 sec

StrobeOnTime 0.025 sec

StrobeOffTime 0.75 sec

WingFlashOnTime 0.5 sec

WingFlashOffTime 0.25 sec

Is there been a timeframe announced as to when the anti-collision / formation lights will be implemented?
