EMB190 Landing Lights

[InSoMnIaC]

Something I've noticed while in cruise one night in cloud.

It seems that the landing lights and the side taxi lights do not work during cruise.

I have looked in the AOM and nothing.. maybe embraer considers it irrelevant and left it out of the Manual or maybe they are working and I didn't look outside hard enough.

can someone clear this up for me please?

where is FE_hoppy when u need him.

[mrmagooo]

From memory the only lights that wont work will be the nose lights as the gear needs to be down and locked.... I'll can check the MM when I get in tomorrow if Im not beaten to it

The only mention of inhibits in the manufacturers technical descriptions is the nose landing and taxi lights which require the nose leg to be locked down. I will have a word with a friendly Brazilian tomorrow and see if there is something we don't know.

as to where i am, Singapore for a few more days. :ok:

EDIT 12/6/09

The man from Brazil he say no.

There is no altitude inhibit in the extenal lights system.
