Rationale: This document establishes minimum performance levels for aircraft position lights including chromaticity, and light intensity in support of TSO and system certification. Information contained herein has been expanded from AS8037A in the areas of measurement conditions, lumen maintenance, and the inclusion of specific information relative to the use of Light Emitting Diode source technology. It provides minimum requirements for night operation not addressed in CFR Title 14. Position lights shall be capable of daytime operation as well. FAR references have been revised for clarity and test laboratory temperature range has been reduced for accuracy.
