Q

Lighting requirements at aerodromes

A

Jepps

RPT aircraft must not depart or land at an aerodrome at night unless the following lighting is meet: (All lighting is to be electric)
§ Runway edge lighting
§ Threshold lighting
§ Illuminated wind indicator (if unable a AWIS/ATIS must be available)
§ Obstacle lighting (if applicable) § Taxiway lighting § Apron flood lighting If PAL is not used lighting must be available from 10mins prior to departure to 30mins after. And 30mins prior to arrival to completion of taxi.

Portable Lighting – alternate required unless a responsible person present.

Standby Power – with no standby power an alternate required unless a responsible person is present.

PAL (with standby) – alternate required unless a responsible person is present to manually operate the lights.

Partial Runway Lighting Failure – Double spacing of runway edge light is allowed in less than VMC if the visibility is 1.5x the required visibility for the instrument approach being flown.

Permanent Threshold Lighting – Green Runway Edge Lighting – White, 60m spacing for instrument runways (ILS), or 90m for NPA or non-instrument runways. For CAT 1 and 2 runways the last 600m are YELLOW.

Runway Centreline Lighting – White, from threshold to 900m from end.

§ Alternating red and white to 300m form end. § Red last 300m Touchdown Zone Lighting – Only required for CAT 2 and 3 runways.

Q

Aerodrome requirements- Alternate Airport

A

If the destination airport forecast is not available or provisional an alternate must be nominated.

o Arrival at the destination up to 30mins prior to the commencement of the following weather requires an alternate:

o Cloud – more than SCT below alternate minima.

o Vis – less than alternate minima. Or a PROB of fig, mist, dust etc that will reduce the vis to below the alternate minima.

o Wind – Crosswind or downwind (including gusts) above the certification of the aircraft.

11
Q

Aerodrome Requirements- Radio Nav Aids
