Instrument and Cockpit Lighting for Commercial Transport Aircraft
- Aerospace Standard
- AS264F
- Cancelled
Sector:

Language:
English
Scope
The desired system for aircraft instrument panel and cockpit lighting is one that will furnishlight of adequate intensity and distribution under all conditions of external lighting so that the crew may read instrumentation, placards, check lists, manuals, maps, instrument color coding, distinguish controls, etc., without undue interference with their vision outside of the aircraft.
Rationale
AS264 was originally issued in 1951. The document is antiquated, providing guidance for applications that are no longer part of the modern flight deck such as for the flight engineer's station, navigator's station, and radio officer's station. The document uses outdated metrics, such as millimicrons and milliLamberts, recommends specific suppliers (Harry Davis Molding Corporation), calls out specific test equipment (Macbetch illuminometer) and lists references from the 1920s through 1940s. All relevant aspects of the document have been incoprorated into ARP4103. This document is canceled and superseded by ARP4103.

Issuing Committee
The purpose of the A-20 Aircraft Lighting Committee is to provide a forum for the development of aerospace standards in aircraft lighting that will fulfill the needs and requirements of operation control and utility. The scope includes both interior and exterior lighting. A list of the technical reports developed by the A-20 Committee can be obtained by searching on 'aircraft lighting' and selecting 'standards', from the SAE Home Page. A-20 Standards

* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
