    摘要: An aircraft passenger service unit includes infrared sensor configured for detecting infrared radiation and for providing a corresponding sensor output, and a controller, which is configured for receiving and evaluating the sensor output provided by the infrared sensor. The infrared sensor is an infrared sensor array configured for detecting infrared radiation emitted within a plurality of spatial sectors covering a detection area below the aircraft passenger service unit; and the infrared sensor array is configured for detecting the infrared radiation individually for each spatial sector and for providing individual sensor signals for the plurality of spatial sectors. The infrared sensor array is configured such that each passenger seat arranged within the detection area is covered by at least two of the plurality of spatial sectors, respectively; and the controller is configured for determining a passenger seating position within a passenger seat from the individual sensor signals.

    摘要: A set of exterior aircraft lights, comprises a main landing light, which comprises at least one main landing light source and is configured for emitting a main landing light beam around a main landing light beam direction (L), and at least one of a taxi light and a runway turn-off light. The taxi light is configured for emitting a taxi light beam around a taxi light beam direction (T) and for emitting a first auxiliary landing light beam around a first auxiliary landing light beam direction (AL1), wherein the first auxiliary landing light beam direction (AL1), when projected onto a vertical plane, is angled downwards between 5° and 15° with respect to the straight ahead direction. The runway turn-off light is configured for emitting a runway turn-off light beam around a runway turn-off light beam direction (Ra, Rb).
