Runway end identifier lights

AIRPORT RUNWAY LIGHTING SYSTEM TO AID RAPID IDENTIFICATION OF THE APPROACH END OF A RUNWAY

Runway End Indentification Lighting; REIL; Runway End Identification Lights; Runway End Identifier Lights

Runway end identifier lights (REIL) (ICAO identifies these as Runway Threshold Identification Lights) are installed at many airports to provide rapid and positive identification of the approach end of a particular runway. The system consists of a pair of synchronized flashing lights located laterally on each side of the runway threshold.

Runway edge lights

Runway edge lighting are used to outline the edges of runways during periods of darkness or restricted visibility conditions. These light systems are classified according to the intensity they are capable of producing:

High intensity runway lights (HIRL)
Medium intensity runway lights (MIRL)
Low intensity runway lights (LIRL)

Many HIRL and MIRL systems have variable intensity controls, whereas the LIRLs normally have one intensity setting. At airports where there is a control tower, the tower will manage the lights to account for visibility and pilot preference, but some airports do not have control towers. These airports will have Pilot Controlled Lighting, or PCL, where pilots can adjust the lighting themselves by keying a microphone button a certain number of times.

The majority of runway edge lights are clear or white, but there are some exceptions to provide additional information to pilots in certain circumstances.

When an instrument runway lighting is designed, the last 600 metres (2,000 ft), or one-half of the runway length available (whichever is less), are bi-directional. They look white to the pilot approaching from the short end of the runway, but to a pilot approaching from the other end, who would be landing or taking off in that direction, they are yellow to indicate that the runway is nearing the end.

Examples of use of primary runway

1. The accident closed the primary runway at the airport for about two hours.

2. A mishap was averted because there was not much traffic on the runaway in the afternoon since maintenance was going on at the primary runway when the aircraft landed.

3. An airport official said there were more than 150 passengers in the aircraft. «All passengers had a providential escape as maintenance work was going on at the primary runway at the time.

4. Lewis University Airport in Romeoville, for the extension of its primary runway: $3,420,000 The runway extension is to allow existing based and visiting corporate aircraft to safely and efficiently operate at Will County‘s Airport.
