HS-2A
White Tail Navigation Light
Description
HS-2A is an aircraft tail navigation light used to mark the rear point of an aircraft in darkness and reduced visibility. It belongs to the external lighting system and emits a white rear-facing light through a clear ribbed lens. The complete unit is a light fitting with a housing, optical cover, lamp holder and mounting parts; it is not an electronic tube.

Purpose in the lighting system
Together with the red and green side navigation lights, the white tail light allows an observer to judge the aircraft direction and orientation. The HS-2A is installed only in the position and circuit specified by the aircraft maintenance or illustrated parts documentation. The exact mounting location varies with airframe type, so compatibility should be established from the aircraft catalogue rather than from external resemblance.
Construction and retained parameters
The fitting uses a clear, ribbed protective lens and a metal body with a dedicated mounting bracket. The retained catalogue data for this designation specifies a nominal supply voltage of 27 V, power consumption not exceeding 44 W, horizontal luminous intensity of at least 20 cd, dimensions of 140 × 63 mm and a mass not exceeding 0.2 kg. These values describe the existing HS-2A record and should be checked against the passport or marking of the particular unit offered.
Selection and inspection
For replacement, confirm the full designation HS-2A, supply voltage, lamp execution, terminal arrangement, mounting geometry and lens condition. A similar housing or a close designation does not establish interchangeability with HS-39, HS-57 or HS-62. Before installation, inspect the lens for cracks and clouding, the body and bracket for deformation or corrosion, and the electrical contacts for secure connection.
Ordering information
Please provide the required quantity, aircraft or equipment reference, expected documentation and photographs of the existing marking when available. Aviamisto can check the requested execution and delivery scope. See the related HS-39, HS-57 and the aircraft lighting catalogue. General background on aircraft navigation lights is available on Wikipedia.
