  • Airport lighting does much more than just increase visibility at night. It can also help a pilot determine where they are on the airfield, and even how much runway they have left in front of them. This video shows you what all of those different colored lights mean!

    Runway Edge Lights' information is not correct. Edge lights are 60 meters apart, not 90/180 feets (time:4.19)

    • @ERAUSpecialVFR
      @ERAUSpecialVFR  6 років тому +4

      According to the Airfield Standards published by the FAA, Runway edge lights on both High and Medium Intensity Lighting Systems shall be uniformly spaced from threshold to threshold with the maximum distance between lights not exceeding 60m or 200ft. So while you are correct that 60m is a possible spacing for edge lights, it is not the requirement, merely the maximum allowable distance between lights.

    You did not say how you can manually turn the lights on manually if tower is closed. If you hit your yoke atc button 3 times. 4 and 5 times is for the brightness.

    • @douglasemerson9017
      @douglasemerson9017 Рік тому

      Depending on the system, the pilot clicks the mic 3, 5, or 7 times. For example, on a MALSR, 3 clicks for low intensity, 5 clicks for medium intensity, 7 clicks for high intensity. The lights turn off after 15 minutes.

    On any airport runway in the world, u wl find two numbers written at both the two ends of the runway.

They were installed at Ft Rucker on the night training field back in the Vietnam era. Cheap; just one light; looked like an upside down traffic-light, very effective at night.

    • @douglasemerson9017
      @douglasemerson9017 Рік тому

      The numbers mean the runway number. For example, if you are flying an airplane and see the numbers 27 at the end of the runway you are landing on, it means your compass heading is 270. You are flying due west.

  • @larryehrlich8702

    You know that this was an American runway because in the USA & its possessions (Puerto Rico, American Samoa, etc) this was painted "runway 4" as opposed to ICAO standards of "runway 04".
    Go to Google Earth and zoom in on runways both inside the USA as well as outside the USA and this will prove my point. Proper ATC terminology in the USA is "runway 4". Proper ICAO terminology outside the USA is "runway 04". FYI.
