Annotation of standard text ASTM F3234/F3234M-21(2025) :

This specification applies to the exterior lighting aspects of airworthiness and design for "small" aircraft. It establishes the Aircraft Type Code (ATC) compliance matrix based on airworthiness level, number of engines, type of engine(s), stall speed, cruise speed, meteorological conditions, altitude, and maneuvers. An ATC is defined by taking into account both the technical considerations regarding the design of the aircraft and the airworthiness level established based upon risk-based criteria. The exterior lighting requirements defined by this specification cover taxi and landing lights, position light systems, position light dihedral angles, position light distribution and intensities, color specifications, riding lights, and anticollision light systems.
