AH-64DField Manual v3.0

The aircraft

Lighting

The aircraft’s exterior and cockpit lights, and what powers each of them.

PLTCPG
Light Control Power
Cockpit floodlight The floodlight knob in each crew station, on the left console. Each seat has its own. Battery
Anti-collision strobes (red) The pilot’s anti-collision switch on the left console. AC and DC
Searchlight Arma’s Lights binding. Battery
Position lights (red left, green right, white tail) None: always on.  

The floodlight casts a green light over your instrument panel and consoles. With ACE loaded it also lights your map, as ACE’s map lighting from a vehicle does: green, and only while your own seat’s floodlight is on.

Each light remembers its setting when power is lost, and comes back on when power returns.
