14.5 Lighting

  14.5.1 Operating crew compartment lighting should be arranged to ensure:

  • (a) a general intensity of illumination under normal conditions which allows the efficient performance of duties;

  • (b) that only a limited reduction in the illumination of essential instruments and controls will occur under likely system fault conditions; and

  • (c) the absence of glittering and reflections on window glass of the operating compartment which could result in navigational errors.

  14.5.2 The intensity and uniformity of illumination for all instruments, controls, indicators, switches and placards should allow for easy readability and should be such that there are no reflections or direct rays which could be objectionable to any member of the operating crew.

  14.5.3 Reference is made to additional requirements on lighting in 12.7.
