CS ADR-DSN.M.765 Aircraft stand manoeuvring guidance lights

(a)Applicability: Aircraft stand manoeuvring guidance lights should be provided to facilitate the positioning of an aircraft on an aircraft stand on a paved apron, or on a de-icing/anti-icing facility intended for use in poor visibility conditions unless adequate guidance is provided by other means.

(b)Location: Aircraft stand manoeuvring guidance lights should be collocated with the aircraft stand markings.

(c)Characteristics:

(1)Aircraft stand manoeuvring guidance lights, other than those indicating a stop position, should be fixed yellow lights, visible throughout the segments within which they are intended to provide guidance.

(2)The lights used to delineate lead-in, turning, and lead-out lines should be spaced at intervals of not more than 7.5 m on curves and 15 m on straight sections.

(3)The lights indicating a stop position should be fixed, unidirectional lights showing red.

(4)The intensity of the lights should be adequate for the condition of visibility and ambient light in which the use of the aircraft stand is intended.

(5)The lighting circuit should be designed so that the lights may be switched on to indicate that an aircraft stand is to be used, and switched off to indicate that it is not to be used.
