How many strobe lights are on the G650?
There are three (3) LED strobe light assemblies: one (1) light assembly is installed in the aft portion of the tailcone and one (1) in each wing tip.
Describe navigation light location.
They’re located on each wing-tip (green on the right and red on the left) and one in the aft tailcone fairing (white).
How would you know if a nav or strobe has failed?
A fault indicator light is integrated into each assembly and provides indication of an LED failure. For a single LED failure, the light illuminates a solid amber color which indicates that servicing is required. For multiple LED failures, the light flashes and clearly alerts ground crews that the aircraft cannot be dispatched.
