APPROVED METHOD OF DETERMINING ADEQUATE 6. Up-date aircraft records and complete form 337.
COVERAGE OF WING AND TAIL STROBE LIGHT
INSTALLATIONS
The most practical system is the approved wingtip anti-collision strobe
light system. These systems consist of two or more lights to complete
the anti-collision light requirement. There is no question as to their
complying to the field of coverage when the installation is completed
(Reference to the following instructions).
The acceptable distance for the two wingtip anti-collision strobe lights
to converge in front and back of the aircraft on center line is 1200 feet.
If both wingtip anti-collision strobe lights can be seen at 1200 feet or
less directly in front and back of the aircraft, it is considered a point of
light source, therefore a third light is not necessary.
The wingtip anti-collision light must be located in such a way that it will
project light +/– 75 degrees above and below the horizontal axis of the
aircraft, and the summation of the 2 or 3 lights will project light 360
degrees around the vertical axis.
PILOT AND CREW INTERFERENCE: In some installations it will be nec-
essary to mask the strobe lighthead assembly to reduce pilot annoy-
ance. This interference problem varies from one aircraft to another of
the same model, due to paint schemes and colors. The Navigation
Light Detector will be a source of reflection and should be reduced in
size, or masked as necessary. A small aluminum or plastic plate
mounted between the navigation light and the wingtip protruding up or
down as required (like some plastic navigation light detectors, and
trimmed to shadow the objectionable reflected area) is simple and very
effective.
The solid angle blockage must be reviewed after installing any masking
that will disturb the 360 degrees by +/– 75 degrees pattern. The afore-
mentioned type masking used on wingtip lighting seldom interferes
with this pattern.

Operation Dimensions
Equipment Limitations: The Model 70900 series LED anti-collision
light assembly meets the requirements of FAR 23.1401, 25.1401 and
91.205(c)(3). “If certification for night operations is requested, the 3.66”
airplane must have an anti-collision light system that consists of one
or more approved anti-collision lights located so that their light will
not impair the flight crew members vision or detract from the con-
spicuity of the position lights.”
Continued Airworthiness: The 70900 series LED anti-collision light
assembly is designed with 10 vertical columns consisting of 3 LEDs
each. Should any one LED or any vertical column fail, the unit must
be repaired or replaced.
Installation Procedures: The following information is to assist in the
installation of a Whelen LED Flashing Anti-collision Light System.
1. The installation procedure described in the following text will be
confined to a single light installation, but is identical for multiple
light installations.

Installation Dimensions 3.84”

The A650 Series must be properly mounted to comply with FAR Part
91.205(c-2) & (c-3). The light assembly must be mounted so that the
light distribution pattern is not obstructed by any parts of the aircraft.
A limited amount of obstruction is permitted (Ref. FAR Part 23.1401 for 1.75”
anti-collision lights, and PAR 23.1387 for position lights).
The baseplate must be mounted parallel to the vertical and horizontal
centerlines of the aircraft to project the patterns properly. These
assemblies are interchangeable with the Grimes model A1285 position
light. 1.66”

Mounting
1. If necessary, fabricate the mounting pattern using dimensions
found in Figure 16B (Note - A 1” diameter hole is needed for the
connector to pass through). 2.47”
2. Make the necessary wiring connections using 18 gauge wire for the
position lights, and Whelen 16 gauge 3/c cable for the strobe lights.
All connections must use FAA approved techniques.
1.08” .15”
3. Remove the (6-32 x .312) retainer mounting screw and retainer.
4. Attach the base assembly to the wingtip using (3) #6-32 counter-
sunk screws (unit may be sealed around periphery with RTV or
equivalent).
1.35”
5. Re-attach lens retainer.
1.79”
Wiring
1. The strobe connector should plug into the Whelen 16 gauge inter-
connecting cable, or a Whelen strobe power supply. Pin 1 = RED (Anode)
Pin 2 = BLACK (Cathode)
Pin 3 = WHITE (Trigger)
Observe the following strobe color coding:
PIN 1 - RED (Anode)
PIN 2 - BLACK (Cathode)
PIN 3 - WHITE (Trigger) RED - (+14/28 VDC)
BLACK - (-)GROUND
Caution: When pins 1 & 2 or pins 2 & 3 are reversed, the system will
appear to operate normally, however this condition will cause pre- Figure 16A
mature flash tube failure.
2. Connect the forward position light wires as follows, using 18 gauge Mounting Diagram

Before After/With Modified Wingtip

A650 Wingtip Strobe Light Installation on Later Model

Cessna Wingtips with Shortened Light Base
Because Cessna has modified the Type E Series Wingtip Navigation 2 3
Light, by cutting off the back 1.3 inch, and designed their wingtip to fit 13 14
in closer to the light, it will be necessary to do a little fiberglass work
when completing this installation. The A650 can be installed on these
Cessnas in the manner below, and instructions above.
1. Remove the wingtip and the navigation light assembly.
2. Take a complete Model W1285 navigation light with an A650 head 4 5
assembly installed, or an A650-PR or -PG, and place it in position
on the wingtip. Mark around the navigation light base plate to get an
outline of the navigation light profile on the wingtip.
3. File or trim away the excess wingtip material, to allow the naviga-
tion light and the A650 strobe light assembly to fit neatly in place. 7
Allow at least 0.060 inch clearance around the A650 strobe head
assembly and the wingtip.
4. To fill in the hole in the wingtip made by this trimming, and to pro- 6
vide a platform for the navigation and strobe light assembly, mount
the navigational light base plate on the wingtip using the two (2) for-
ward screws with a sheet of polyvinyl between the wingtip and the 8
base plate for a parting agent. Tape the polyvinyl back over the
wingtip to form a seal, so it is possible to apply a polyester resin
putty, or epoxy putty like “Bondo”, on the inside of the tip. Build up
the trimmed area with this putty, as to have about 1/4 inch of mat-
erial under and in back of the base plate. Prepare the surface and
the putty material in accordance with the putty manufacturer’s
instructions, to assure a good bond to the wingtip.
5. Remove the navigation light base plate and parting agent.
6. To improve the appearance of this installation, fill the indentation on
the outside of the wingtip with the aforementioned putty, and file the
excess material to a clean profile before painting.
7. Drill the third mounting screw hole for the navigation light, and
complete the installation, reference the enclosed information.

Operation
The Model A610 flash tube and the Model A612 glass lens are used for installing wingtip strobes in single engine Cessna’s 1972 and later. The
existing position light retainer is modified to accommodate the lens, and the flash tube is mounted directly behind. The unique magnifying design
of the A612 lens increases the light intensity by two to three times in the horizontal plane. Lenses meet material requirements of MIL-C-7989B
class B.

be a source of reflection, and should be reduced in size or masked
as necessary. A small aluminum or plastic plate, mounted between
the navigation light and the wingtip, protruding up or down as
required (like some plastic navigation light detectors), and trimmed
to shadow the objectionable reflected area, is most effective. This 1 2
