Pedestrians crossing the road, to obey the 'red light stop, green line' of the ground rules of traffic lights, so the civil aviation passenger plane? Civil aviation passenger should follow the ground of the lights is more complex, today for everyone to introduce airport ground lighting equipment.
the plane take off or landing at night, believe that careful travelers should pay attention to the tarmac all sorts of color lights. In fact, this is just part of the airport ground lighting equipment composition, airport ground lighting equipment is usually divided into obstacle lights, airport identification lamp comes into play, the runway lights, lamp, slide down lamp, lamp, etc. These lights are used to at night or fog lights to pilot information, for the take-off and judge the position and landing, going to the airport, air to ensure flight safety.
in lighting is an extension of the runway, the pilot to fly a plane along the approach gradually close to the ground, to enter the runway. Approach way sometimes up to 1000 meters in length, width and the runway, consists of the light.
the runway lights lighting identified by the runway lights, the runway lights, strip lights entrance, at the end of the runway lights, runway center of light, the runway boundary lamp. Pilots must have long seen the runway before entering into the runway, so that he didn't have enough time to prepared to play. The runway recognition the brightness of the lamp is installed on both ends of the runway surface is very strong, high lights flicker frequency devices. The runway entrance lamp is installed at the end of the runway, a line perpendicular to the runway centerline, green. With the matching at the end of the runway lights for a red light. Joint strip light starting from the end of runway 750 meters on the runway extension, white light, embedded in the ground, alert the pilot it is the key to the landing area, the plane should be grounded in this area. The runway centerline light is white lights along the runway centerline. White lamp is installed on both sides of the track runway boundary, they told the pilot the width of the runway. At the ends of the runway imports into the light is green.
obstruction light said danger, not through the obstacle lights, red is usually served on flying area on high ground, to the top of a mountain, the lighthouse, the chimney, high-rise buildings. Height under 50 meters of obstacles, only to a red light on the top, more than 50 meters of obstacles, the string lamp, to indicate that the solid height. Near the airport highway Bridges are also a series of the commanding heights of the jacket to a red light, said the span of the bridge.
the airport sidelight birds nest nest first, aircraft pilots need to accurately ascertain the first landing airport location. Airport beacon is pilot first from a distance to find a goal, is a strong scintillation luminescence brightness equipment. The lights of the civil airport is white - Green - White - And green, flashing 12 times per minute. If the airport near the water, then change the green to yellow.
taxiway lights taxiway lights are similar to the general lamps, glide roadside lights are blue, the center line of the light is green. Has blue light in the import and export to the runway, indicating where pilots in and out of the taxiway.
drop light falling light indicates the pilot slip Angle is correct, help pilots check and correction of aircraft into the slope, guide the plane in the process of the approach to maintain normal glide trajectory. Down lights system composed of multiple in the vertical direction of red and white color, the boundaries between the lamps and lanterns of beam. When the pilot slip Angle when appropriate, he saw the white close distance lamp lights and red. When his slip Angle is too large to see the lights are white, and slip Angle too hours see down lights are red.
to see so many, will feel so complicated? Civil aviation lights shining with color logo, lighting design and the situation of the so-called light language, sending out certain information, the lights of the common language for the United Nations to the international civil aviation organization (icao) universal language.
