This Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) covers the general design and performance characteristics of illuminated information signs for service in the passenger compartment of passenger transport aircraft. "Illuminated information signs" are lighted signs used to inform occupants of the passenger compartment. Signs may use symbols or letters to convey messages. This ARP does not apply to "EXIT" signs which are the subject of ARP503.

This Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) provides criteria for design and location of power supplies, controls, light fixtures, and associated equipment which are used to provide emergency illumination in transport aircraft, designed to FAR 25 (Ref. 1) for operation under FAR 91 and FAR 121 (Ref. 2), and also in compliance with FAA Advisory Circular AC25.812-1A (Ref. 3). It is not the purpose of an ARP to specify design methods to be followed in the accomplishment of the stated objectives.
The scope of this ARP is to provide general requirements for application of electroluminescence to Aerospace Vehicle Crew Station Area instruments and control panels. The design brightness and color recommendations stated in this ARP are intended to apply where a crew station has multiple usage of electroluminescence in both instruments and control panels and when different manufacturers may be involved. These recommendations may also be helpful for the design of individually used displays incorporating electroluminescence, however, this light source has extensive design versatility through variance of manufacturing and operating parameters and the numerous acceptable design recommendations will not be stated herein. Electroluminescence will herein be referred to as EL.
This recommended practice covers the general requirements and test procedures recommended for use with white incandescent integrally lighted instruments. Its use should provide uniformity of illumination from instrument to instrument and legibility under daylight operation. An appendix is provided to familiarize the designer with some of the techniques used to obtain uniformity of color and illumination in various types of instruments.
This ARP covers the recommended requirements for the lighting and characteristics of instruments; information plates and displays; emergency, cautionary, advisory and status displays; circuit breaker and toggle switch positions; and the recommended requirements for the utility lighting system.
The purpose of this standard is to recommend minimum performance requirements to assist the specification writer in establishing a failsafe airplane interior light assembly design. This standard relates to the design of fluorescent lamp ballasts, lampholders, fixtures, and installation of the same.
This document does not dictate a specific design approach or technology, but rather it provides design consideration to assist the specification writer in establishing a fail/safe design.
This document covers the general recommendations for cabin lighting in order to provide satisfactory illumination for, but not limited to: a Boarding and deplaning b Movement about the cabin c Reading d Use of lavatories e Use of work areas f Exiting under emergency conditions g Using stowage compartments, coat rooms, and closets h Using interior stairways and elevators (lifts)
