REFLECTOR: Annunicators?

[Hiroo Umeno]

Mine has the following (FG, single door) on the annunciator / light control panel.

DOOR - Red
LEFT LOW - Red
RIGHT LOW - Red (lights up when fuel in tank is less than 15%)
SUMP LOW - Red (lights up when fuel in tank is less than 15%)
LOW VOLT - Red (Lights up when bus voltage is below 13V)
FUEL  BAL - Yellow (lights up when the fuel qty difference between left and right becomes more than the preset)
SPD BRK - Yellow
STBY BAT - Yellow (Lights up when on standby battery power)
PITOT HT - Green
LDG LIGHT - Green

I, M, O markers (white, amber, blue)

Lamp Test - SW
Panel Light - SPDT SW (Red - Off - White)
Dimmer - Pot

For engine and navigational annunciation, EFIS takes care of it.

An argument can be made that push to test lights were for the incandescent days when bulbs actually burned out.  Still it is a re-assurance.

So I'm thinking about building an annunicator panel (with a "Push-to-Test" and dimmer).

Currently the list of indicators I have come up with is:

Pilot Door Unsafe - RED
CoPilot Door Unsafe - RED
Low Voltage - RED
Low Oil Press - RED
Nose Gear Down - GREEN
Left Main Down - GREEN
Right Main Down - GREEN
Fuel Pump On - AMBER
Hydraulic Pump On - AMBER
Pitot Heat - AMBER

I'm going to have a pair of GRT displays so I'm thinking the low voltage, low oil press would be provided by their engine monitoring and would be unnecessary on an annunicator.

What else would be good to have on an annunicator panel? Landing, nav and strobe lights?
