GM1 ADR-DSN.M.630 Precision approach Category I lighting system

(a)The installation of an approach lighting system of less than 900 m in length may result in operational limitations on the use of the runway.

(b)Spacings for the crossbar lights between 1 m and 4 m are in use. Gaps on each side of the centre line may improve directional guidance when approaches are made with a lateral error, and facilitate the movement of rescue and firefighting vehicles.

(c)The flashing light system provides a long-distance information about the location and orientation of an active runway to the approaching pilots. Particularly in the surrounding of cities with urban lighting of streets, places and buildings, the flashing light system allows a clear identification of the approach by the flight crew. To prevent glare at night and have clear visibility, the high-intensity flashing light should be provided with an appropriate intensity control.
