Optimum Intensity Settings of Approach and Runway Light Systems.

Abstract

Criteria for determining the optimum intensity settings of approach and runway lights, as a function of atmospheric transmissivity and/or meteorological visibility, have been developed. In determining the optimum intensity settings, consideration was given to past practices, theoretical and experimental studies, and to the effects of the intensity setting on runway visual range. Changes in the present intensity setting criteria are recommended. (Author)
