airfield lighting systems

Airfield lighting systems are designed to ensure safe aircraft movement on the ground, especially at night or in poor visibility. They include runway lights that outline the runway edges and centerline, taxiway lights guiding aircraft between runways and facilities, and approach lights aiding pilots during landing. These lights are systematically controlled to enhance visibility and safety, often with different colors and intensities indicating specific areas or conditions. Modern systems can be automated or manually operated, providing crucial visual cues to pilots for precise navigation, safe takeoff, and landing operations on the airfield.
