ABSTRACT:
A ground floodlight for an aircraft having a fuselage including a forward cargo door includes a generally flat lens having a first region for directing light toward the front cargo door and a second region for directing light generally forward to illuminate ground in front of the aircraft. The lens is generally flat and smooth and is adapted for flush mounting in the fuselage. A corresponding method for improving ground floodlight illumination includes directing light generated from a lamp within the fuselage in an outward direction and then redirecting first and second portions of the light toward the front cargo door and the ground in front of the aircraft, respectively.
