SECTION OP-56: TAIL LIGHTING: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:07, 23 May 2022

Notes:

The suggested hole to bring the tail light cable into the fuselage is above the bottom rudder hinge in OP-56. In the obsolete RV-10 electrical wiring instructions (OP-37), the hole was shown below the hinge. Many builders have used the lower hole placement without issues and the upper hole is at a place where the leading edge of the rudder doesn't leave much space:

A tail light is not needed if the wing tips have white rear position lights as on the Aveo Ziptips. See CFR title14 volume 1 section 23.1385 (c): Rear position light. The rear position light must be a white light mounted as far aft as practicable on the tail or on each wing tip.
