The emergency exit lighting system consists of three
lights, an inertia switch, and a control switch on overhead
panel. There is an exit light above the ramp, one by the
cabin door, and one over cabin escape hatch. These
lights can be turned on, off, or charged by operating the
switch in the cockpit. The inertia switch will also cause
the lights to come on if a hard landing in excess of 3g
occurs. The lights have rechargeable internal batteries
so they are portable. The lights can be removed by
grasping handle and pulling. When the handle is down,
the light is on; when the handle is up the light is off.
