Schematic for land/taxi lights

If that's what you want, it's going to be two 'rocker' switches either way - so why not wire up two switches for two lights, and then the choice is yours - simple

Hi Guys

Thank you for all your suggestion, we'll be going for the 6-32 (torx) screws into nutplates, I think this is the best for us, we di it on the enpennage, and I think it will be good for the wing tips too

Best regards

Step install

Hi Guys

Has anyone had their steps 'powder-coated' - I thought this would be a nice touch, expecially with the expected 'scruffing' that might occur with usage with painted steps
