Introduction
Aircraft lighting systems enable the crew to: see essential flight data and aircraft information in all ambient light conditions, discern external physical conditions/features during operations (particularly during take-off and landing), implement ‘see and avoid’ barriers to airspace conflicts, and so on. Aircraft flight recorder equipment provides data that may be used for the purposes of accident/incident investigation, and therefore contribute to the safety of future aircraft operations. Locating equipment provides the means by which an aircraft and personnel can be located following an accident. Aircraft indicating systems provide information to aircrew on the condition of aircraft systems and equipment, the aircraft’s flight status and other parameters necessary for safe aircraft operation, and/or to maintain adequate situational awareness.
