Airfield Ground Lighting

An aerodrome beacon is intended for use at night if one or more of the following conditions exist: a) aircraft navigate predominantly by visual means; b) reduced visibilities are frequent; or c) it is difficult to locate the aerodrome from the air due to surrounding lights or terrain. The aerodrome beacon is located on or adjacent to the aerodrome in an area of low ambient background lighting.

Heliport beacon provides a long range visual guidance and identification of the heliport. The heliport beacon is located on or adjacent to the heliport preferably at an elevated position and so that it does not dazzle a pilot at short range.

The REIL are flashing lights located on either side of a runway and are synchronised. The REIL provide circling, offset, and straight-in visual guidance for non-precision approach runways and helps the aircraft pilot differentiate the runway from other nearby lights
