An airfield lighting system plays an important role at any airport or airfield, helping pilots identify specific areas of the airfield. At Up N Atom Electrical, we understand the significance of an airfield ground lighting system, which is why we offer a range of services in relation to airfield lighting.
The Importance of Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL)
Airfield lighting compliance is important because an airfield ground lighting system serves multiple purposes, all in relation to the safety of workers, pilots, and passengers. In particular, they are useful for:
- Indicating where the takeoff and landing areas on the airfield are
- Illuminating the runway in low visibility conditions, such as at night or during foggy weather
- Identifying any obstructions on the airfield
For pilots, an airport runway lighting system is crucial for safe landings, enabling them to see the landing strip with ease.
AGL Lighting Colours
There are multiple lighting colours installed on airport runways, including:
- White – runway edge lights
- Green – runway threshold lights
- Red – runway end lights
- Red and white – runway centreline lights; white until 914m from the runway end, then alternating red and white until 300m, and then fully red until the end of the runway
- Red, white, and green – displaced threshold lights; red from the approach and white from the runway (for runway edge lighting), green from the approach direction (on non-precision approach runways)
- Blue – taxiway edge lights
These lights need to remain on at all times, especially during days with poor visibility – this is where Up N Atom Electrical comes in. We can maximise the performance and lifespan of your airfield ground lighting system!
