The Use of Airport Lighting Systems in an Instrument Part of Approaching Manoeuvre

Original language description

Airport lighting system has become the inseparable and part of every airport, it does not depend if the airport is for visual or instrument approaches in low visibility procedures in CAT IIIc. It means airport lighting systems are operated in various types of permissible meteorological conditions and the navigation information given by airport lighting systems is used in both, VMC as well as IMC conditions. As primary task of military aviation is different to civilian aviation, deployable military airfields may be used in specific cases slightly under permissible meteorological conditions. In all cases airport lighting system provides a wide spectrum of information for the most of flight phases in the airfield area, however, mainly for approaching and landing phase. The most important information is the course line position, the length and shape of runway, the glide path angle, the distance to touch down zone (area), thresholds positions, etc. Every approaching and landing solves similar types of navigation information given by various methods, visually or by an instrument. Generally, airborne parts of instrument systems like ILS, MLS, GNSS (G-BAS) receive and process navigation information through the approaching and landing presenting position angles and distances via flight directors or directly to autopilot subsystem. As for military aviation might be useful, especially at deployable airports which are not described in any AIP, to have such navigation information given by airport lighting system into FMS or cross-point indicator. The paper solves basic system requirements for light pattern detectability on the board - in given meteorological conditions, based on the range determination of constant or flashing light as a particular unit of whole light pattern, with its needed parts like lens, filters. Transmission environment obviously can also influent the spectral characteristics of emitted light, spectrally pure colors emitted by halogen light bulbs are transformed into grey. Mostly green color suffers from this effect that can completely change pattern information. Additionally, the paper is also focused on the accuracy description of interpreted light pattern, the impact of placement of light pattern components and the influence of digitalization of the light pattern.
