The system consists of a pair of synchronized flashing lights located laterally on each side of the runway threshold. REILs may be either omnidirectional or unidirectional . The lights are positioned on each corner of the runway landing threshold , facing the approach area and aimed at an . The last 0feet of the runway or one-half of the. Arrow When a fixed-distance marking . Except at intersections where semiflush runway edge lights are.

VASI- Visual Approach Slope. RWYs used by turbojets. Difficulty in judging approach. Objects in approach area. Hazard conditions at either end of runway.

Terrain or weather conditions may cause turbulence . The REIL contains a master and slave strobe power supply on each side of the threshold. All runways licensed for night use must have lighting which at least defines the extent of the runway. Other types of lighting may also be provided.

ICAO guidance requires that runway lighting shall not be . Note that centreline and touchdown zone lights are additional guidance in support of low visibility operations. The primary application of a REIL system is to positively identify the end or the threshold of a visual or instrument non-precision runway. This REIL system consists of two synchronized flashing lights. Runway Threshold and Runway End Lights. One flasher unit is located at each side of the runway threshold.

The REIL-L is available as a high-intensity single-step light (L- 849A) and a low-intensity single-step light (L-849C). The horizontal beam pattern and bright simultaneous flashes helps the pilot identify the runway in use. The L-849C is recommended when . Three intensity settings allow the approach to be used under changing weather conditions. Compatible with most approach . An airport lighting facility in the terminal area navigation system consisting of one flashing white high-intensity light installed at each approach end corner of a runway and directed toward the approach zone.

These lights , which may be omnidirectional or unidirectional, enable the pilot to identify the threshold of a usable . The main application of a REIL LED system is to identify the runway end or threshold of a visual or instrument non-precision runway. A pair of flashing aeronautical ground lights symmetrically disposed on each side of the runway at the threshold to provide additional threshold conspicuity. Back to Definitions Index.
