Whelen Model 7099130 Clear Tail Position Light Lens
Part Number: 68-3970991-30 | Model Number: 7099130
Keep your tail position light bright, visible, and shielded from the elements with this genuine Whelen Aerospace Technologies (WAT) replacement outer lens. Designed explicitly for the Whelen 71011 Series tail light assemblies commonly found on standard general aviation aircraft (including Cessna Skyhawk, Skylane, and Stationair models), this domed, crystal-clear lens keeps your aircraft safely compliant with FAA lighting regulations.
Positioned on the tail cone, your rear navigation light bears the brunt of engine exhaust residues, thermal cycling, and environmental weathering. Over time, original lenses can become brittle, yellowed, or deeply pitted, scattering the light output and increasing the risk of failing a pre-flight inspection. Upgrading to a fresh, factory-original lens instantly restores unobstructed, 360-degree white light projection at every rearward angle.
Key Features & Benefits
Genuine Whelen Component: Direct OEM replacement lens guaranteeing 100% fitment, correct seating, and structural integrity.
Optically Pure Profile: Classic domed design engineered to transmit maximum candela output without distorting or dimming the tail position light.
UV & Weather Resistant: Molded from premium, impact-resistant aviation materials that prevent clouding, cracking, or discoloration from intense sunlight and moisture.
Compact & Lightweight: Adds negligible weight (~0.03 lbs) to the tail assembly while providing heavy-duty protection for your internal strobe or bulb setup.

Flight Safety Note: Tail visibility is your primary line of defense against mid-air over-takes during night operations. If your tail light cover is hazy, crazed, or cracked, swap it out before your next night flight to ensure your tail position remains visible to following air traffic.
