 (c) be compatible with each item of equipment that may be used by a flight crew member; and
 (d) be arranged in a way that:
 (i) enables all placards and instrument markings to be read from each flight crew member's normal sitting position in a flight crew member's seat in the rotorcraft; and
 (ii) each flight crew member's eyes are shielded from direct and reflected light; and
 (e) be adjustable so that the intensity of the lighting can be varied for the light conditions.
 (3) If natural light does not adequately illuminate the items of equipment and documents mentioned in paragraphs (2)(a) and (b), cockpit lighting equipment of a rotorcraft operating by day must illuminate the items of equipment and documents and be compatible with each item of equipment that may be used by a flight crew member.

 (a) when the rotorcraft is taxiing and crossing a runway, or final approach and take-off area for the aerodrome, which is in use for take-offs, or approach and landings;
 (b) from the time the rotorcraft first enters the runway, or final approach and take-off area for the aerodrome, from which it will take off until the time the rotorcraft leaves the runway, or final approach and take-off area, to which it made its approach for a landing.
 (5) Subsections (3) and (4) do not apply if the pilot in command reasonably believes that, in the circumstances, reflection or glare from the anti-collision lights may cause a hazard to an aircraft.
