|
REIL stands for what and is used for what |
Runway End Identifier Lights, used to identify a runway in poor visibility conditions |
|
|
Identify the different lights in the runway edge light system |
Green/red - identifies the ends of the runway, green identifies the landing threshold and red indicates the end of the runway White/yellow - identifies the runway edge, when approaching the runway the lights will be white up to the last 2,000 feet or half of the remaining runway length whichever is less |
|
|
Identify in-runway lighting |
There are two types of in-runway lighting: Touchdown zone lighting (TDZL) consists of two rows of lights; one on each side and parallel to the runway centerline lights. They start at 100 feet from the landing threshold and extends to 3,000 feet from the threshold or midpoint of the runway, whichever is less. Runway centerline lighting system (RCLS) consists of lights spaced at 50-foot intervals. White until last 3,000 feet, then white alternating with red for the next 2,000 feet. All the red last 1,000 feet |
|
|
Identify a VASI |
Visual Approach Slope Indicators (VASI) are lights visible from 3-5 miles away during the day and 20 miles away or more at night. The visual glide path of the VASI provides safe obstruction clearance: within plus or minus 10 degrees of the extended runway centerline and up to 4 Nautical Miles (NM) from the runway threshold |
|
|
What is a ALS and how far can they be seen? |
Approach Light Systems (ALS) provide the basic means to transition from IFR to VFR for landing by radiating light beams in a directional pattern. ALS start at the landing threshold and extends into the approach area a distance of: 2,400-3,000ft for precision instrument runways 1,400-1,500ft for non-precision instrument runways |
|
|

Green - centerline lights Blue - edge lights Yellow - runway guard lights Red - stop bar lights Green/yellow - lead-on lights |
