Front 6

lower glide path

Back 6

is provided by the near and middle bars and is normally set at 3 degrees.

upper glide path

Back 7

provided by the middle and far bars, is normally 1/4 degree higher.

Front 8

higher glide path

Back 8

is intended for use only by high cockpit aircraft to provide a sufficient threshold crossing height.

Front 9

precision approach path indicator (PAPI)

Back 9

uses light units similar to the VASI but is installed in a single row of either two or four light units.

Front 10

Tri-color visual approach slope indicators

Back 10

normally consist of a single light unit projecting a three-color visual approach path into the final approach area of the runway upon which the indicator is installed.

Front 14

Pulsating visual approach slope indicators

Back 14

normally consist of a single light unit projecting a two-color visual approach path into the final approach area of the runway upon which the indicator is installed.

Front 15

Back 15

The on glide path indication on pulsating visual approach slope indicator is

Front 16

steady red light

Back 16

The slightly below glide path indication is a

Front 17

red light

Back 17

If the aircraft descends further below the glide path, the ____ starts to pulsate

Front 18

pulsating white light.

Back 18

The above glide path indication is a

Front 19

Alignment of elements systems

Back 19

installed on some small general aviation airports and is a low-cost system consisting of painted plywood panels, normally black and white or fluorescent orange.

Front 20

Runway End Identifier Lights

Back 20

Installed at many airfields to provide rapid and positive identification of the approach end of a particular runway.

Front 21

REILs

Back 21

may be either omnidirectional or unidirectional facing the approach area.

Front 22

Runway Edge Light System

Back 22

used to outline the edges of runways during periods of darkness or restricted visibility conditions.

Front 23

The HIRL and MIRL

Back 23

systems have variable intensity controls

Front 24

LIRLs

Back 24

normally have one intensity setting.

Front 25

Runway centerline lights

Back 25

are installed on some precision approach runways to facilitate landing under adverse visibility conditions.

Front 26

Touchdown Zone Lights (TDZL).

Back 26

are installed on some precision approach runways to indicate the touchdown zone when landing under adverse visibility conditions. They consist of two rows of transverse light bars disposed symmetrically about the runway centerline.

Front 27

Taxiway Centerline Lead-Off Lights.

Back 27

provide visual guidance to persons exiting the runway. They are color-coded to warn pilots and vehicle drivers that they are within the runway environment or instrument landing system/microwave landing system (ILS/MLS) critical area, whichever is more restrictive.

Front 28

Taxiway Centerline Lead-On Lights.

Back 28

provide visual guidance to persons entering the runway.

Front 29

Land and Hold Short Lights.

Back 29

are used to indicate the hold short point on certain runways, which are approved for Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO).

Front 30

Taxiway Edge Lights.

Back 30

are used to outline the edges of taxiways during periods of darkness or restricted visibility conditions. These fixtures emit blue light.

Front 31

Taxiway Centerline Lights.

Back 31

used to facilitate ground traffic under low visibility conditions. Taxiway centerline lights are steady burning and emit green light.

Front 32

Clearance Bar Lights.

Back 32

are installed at holding positions on taxiways in order to increase the conspicuity of the holding position in low visibility conditions.

Front 33

Runway Guard Lights.

Back 33

are installed at taxiway/runway intersections. They are primarily used to enhance the conspicuity of taxiway/runway intersections during low visibility conditions, but may be used in all weather conditions.

Front 34

Stop Bar Lights.

Back 34

when installed, are used to confirm the ATC clearance to enter or cross the active runway in low visibility conditions (below 1,200 ft Runway Visual Range).

Front 35

aeronautical light beacon

Back 35

is a visual NAVAID displaying flashes of white and/or colored light to indicate the location of an airport, a heliport, a landmark, a certain point of a Federal airway in mountainous terrain, or an obstruction.

Front 36

Code Beacons.

Back 36

, which can be seen from all directions, is used to identify airports and landmarks.

Front 37

Green flashes

Back 37

are displayed for land airports

Front 38

yellow flashes

Back 38

indicate water airports.

Front 39

Course Lights.

Back 39

which can be seen clearly from only one direction, is used only with rotating beacons of the Federal Airway System: two course lights, back to back, direct coded flashing beams of light in either direction along the course of airway.

Front 40

Airport and heliport beacons

Back 40

have a vertical light distribution to make them most effective from one to ten degrees above the horizon; however, they can be seen well above and below this peak spread. The beacon may be an omnidirectional capacitor-discharge device, or it may rotate at a constant speed, which produces the visual effect of flashes at regular intervals. Flashes may be one or two colors alternately.

Front 44

Military airport beacons

Back 44

flash alternately white and green, but are differentiated from civil beacons by dual peaked (two quick) white flashes between the green flashes.

Front 45

Aeronautical lightings

Back 45

used to guide the pilot during night operation as well as in low visibility flight conditions.
