VIQ 7 requirement '' Are navigation lights in good order...and there should be a procedure to check the navigation light failure alarm.
How can the navigation light failure alarm be tested/checked?
On my current ship, the Navigation lights failure test procedure is posted on the backside of Navigational Lights Pannel.
The Procedure itself is as follows:
- Confirm that Main Power Sourse is "ON"
- The fuses for each Navigation light marked with appropriate label.
- Remove the fuse and confirm that visual and audible alarms for corresponding Navigation light are activated
- Return the fuse in place and repeat the procedure for each of Navigation lights
