airfield lighting

Airfield lighting refers to the system of lights installed on airports to guide aircraft safely during takeoff, landing, and taxiing, especially in low visibility conditions. These lights include runway edge lights, centerline lights, approach lights, and taxiway lights, which indicate the boundaries and orientation of runways and taxiways. They are designed to be easily visible to pilots from a distance and in various weather conditions. The lighting systems can often be adjusted in intensity and color to optimize visibility and safety, ensuring smooth and secure aircraft movement on the ground and during approach and departure phases.
