      I looked around the forum but could not find a post that solved my issue. I tried my first night flight yesterday. I can turn on the instrument light using the rotary dial next to the pitot heat switch. But when I turn the overhead dial for the dome light, nothing happens, nothing is lit and the plane is unflyable in these conditons. I feel like I must be doing something basic wrong. Any idea?

        It is working fine for me. Usually 1-2 clicks from the off position is enough light to see the panel during the night. Did you see the actual light get brighter when turning the dial?

          Thanks. The light is already red, and no it does not get any brighter, nothing happens. Very strange...

            I noticed the same thing a few weeks ago and opened a ticket. Reply from JF was they could not duplicate this. Have not checked since last update.
