The information in this document is intended to apply to commercial jet transport category airplanes that incorporate plastic (polycarbonate or acrylic) lenses on exterior light assemblies, or are being considered for such an application as opposed to glass lens designs. Exterior lighting applications include position light assemblies, anticollision light asemblies, and landing light assemblies. However, much of the material provided herein is general in nature and is directly applicable to many aircraft categories including, but not limited to, helicopters, general aviation aircraft, and military aircraft.

This document covers external lighting for Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (E-VTOL) and Urban Air Mobility (UAM) vehicles. It discusses lights that may be installed both to meet regulatory requirements as well as for customer comfort and aircraft recognition. It also discusses the differences between UAM vehicles and other aircraft and how those differences impact the lighting.
The scope of this ARP is area lighting requirements for commercial airplane camera video systems. Specifically, lighting recommendations are given for the GMCS (ground maneuver camera system) and FDEVSS (flight deck entry video surveillance system). This ARP affects all three A-20 Aircraft Lighting Committees: crew station flight deck, exterior, and interior. Future updates could include military applications.
This document includes requirements of installations of adequate landing and taxiing lighting systems in aircraft of the following categories: a. Single engine personal and/or liaison type b. Light twin engine c. Large multiengine propeller d. Large multiengine turbojet/turbofan e. Military high-performance fighter and attack f. Helicopter This document will cover general requirements and recommended practices for all types of landing and taxi lights. More specific recommendations for LED lights in particular can be found in ARP6402.
The scope of this SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) is to discuss factors affecting visibility of aircraft navigation and anticollision lights, enabling those concerned with their use to have a better technical understanding of such factors, and to aid in exercising appropriate judgment in the many possible flight eventualities.

This document recommends design objectives for navigation, position, and anticollisionlight systems for visual detection and collision avoidance between airplanes in flight and on the ground. Customers for new airplanes or lighting components, and designers or manufacturers may take advantage of this document in specifying the initial requirements that, in most cases, significantly exceed the applicable minimum intensities as shown in the Federal Aviation Regulations as well provide better stability, longer life and lower operating costs.
This document covers the recommended lighting performance and design criteria for: a Left Forward Navigation Position Lights (Red) b Right Forward Navigation Position Lights (Green) c Rear Navigation Position Lights (White) d Anticollision Lights (1) Red Flashing Lights Top and Bottom Fuselage (2) White Flashing Strobe Lights Wing Tips and/or Tail (3) Red Flashing Beacon Light on Top of Vertical Tail
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) establishes minimum performance standards for new equipment position lights. This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) defines minimum and maximum light intensity in terms of candelas in vertical and horizontal directions about the longitudinal, vertical, and lateral axes of the aircraft. It also defines color tolerances in terms of limiting chromaticities for the light emitted from the position lights. It is not intended that this standard require the use of any particular light source such as quartz-halogen, incandescent, or any other specific design of lamp.
This SAE Aerospace Recommend Practice (ARP) is intended to recommend safety related best practices when using metal halides high intensity discharge (HID) lamps and power supplies in aircraft applications.
This SAE Aerospace Recommend Practice (ARP) is intended to identify both safety related best practices and unique design considerations of metal halides High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps and power supplies in aircraft applications.

This Aerospace Recommended Practice provides guidance for designers and specifiers of aircraft exterior lighting. Typical causes of light degradation and methods of predicting performance degradation in the aircraft environment are given. Although the document considers only exterior lighting, many of the principles and methods discussed apply to interior or flight deck lighting as well.
