In a power outage, rapid restoration of airfield ground lighting is vital to maintain pilot visual guidance — especially during take-off and landing. ICAO standards require light restoration within 1 second for critical circuits in certain categories. 

Runway Edge Lights are installed along the edges of runways to outline their usable limits during periods of darkness or reduced visibility. When these lights feature an omni-directional component, their impact on safety and operational efficiency increases substantially.

The airside is the heartbeat of any airport — where aircraft take off, land, taxi, and turn around. It’s a high-stakes environment that demands precision, coordination, and absolute reliability. One key element that keeps this complex system safe and operational at all times is airfield ground lighting (AGL).

Road holding lights are used in airports to indicate to the many vehicles driving there that they need to stop. Orange means danger, red means stop.

Establishing a comprehensive maintenance schedule for Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) is essential to ensure operational safety and compliance. Where to start?

In airfield lighting systems, safety and reliability are paramount. Constant Current Regulators (CCRs) are crucial components that supply power to the airfield lighting circuits. However, ensuring the safe operation and maintenance of these circuits requires effective safety measures, especially when it comes to grounding.

Airfield ground lighting systems are vital for guiding aircraft during landing and take-off, especially in low-visibility conditions. This is even more the case in winter when harsh weather conditions impact visibility even further and snow hinders the light output of the airfield ground lighting.

The airside is one of the most critical components of airport operations, encompassing all the activities taking place on the runways, taxiways, aprons, and other areas where aircraft are maneuvered, loaded, and maintained. Hence the need for trained and competent staff.
