![]() ![]() Therefore, seeing only to the roll bar by DA means missed approach-even though you can see 1,400 feet of approach light system ahead of you. Also, if you can’t see past the roll bar, you can’t see “the red terminating bars or the red side row bars” anyway. (Refer to figure 137 below. Which runway marking indicates a displaced threshold on an instrument runway, 3. Seen from the air, runway lights form an outline of the runway. (Refer to figure 138 below.) What night operations, if any, are authorized between the approach end of the threshold light, 2. Runway Lights Runway lighting are used at airports for use at night and low visibility. Few ILS approaches, and no LPV approaches, allow visibility that low without special equipment or authorization. Study with Quizlet and memorize flashcards containing terms like 1. If you reach a 200-foot DA and can’t see the roll bar that’s 1,000 feet short of the threshold, you have less than 1,800 feet of visibility. With only 2,400 feet of visibility, you probably won’t see a visual glidepath until the roll bar has passed under the nose. The PAPI or VASI is about 1,000 feet beyond the threshold, so fly attitude and resist any pitch changes. However, I’ll reiterate: Even though the ALSF-2 provides some roll and yaw information, it says nothing about glideslope. I wouldn’t quibble over 100 feet on the edge of legal. Scope: Replace all runway edge, taxiway and threshold lights Set light layout to Instrument pattern (60m spacing) Install new primary cable Install new. If you can only see to the 500-foot barrette, visibility is closer to 2,300 feet. Total length for the SSALR and MALSR, including the RAIL, is 2,400 feet. These are the red side row bars mentioned in FAR 91. Otherwise, SSALRs and MALSRs are identical. The inner 1000 feet of the ALSF-2 lighting also contains two strips of red lights, one on each side. The SS means a maximum brightness that’s higher than the M. In 2008, some PAPIs began a modernization phase with LED. The non-standard location is on the right side of the runway. Most of the time, PAPI lights are located on the left side of the runway. ![]() The reverse is true of flying high on glide path. The flashing lights still extend the full 1,400 feet, but because they’re all alone for much of that they get a new name: Runaway Alignment Indicator Lights, or RAIL. As you dip below glide path, the lights (from right to left) will fade from white to red. The outer section only has the solid white lights for 400 feet. The SSALR and MALSR have the inner section with no side rows and half the lights turned off (so they appear every 200 feet). Good weather, low budgets or inconveniently placed shopping malls off the approach end of the runway can mean parts of the ALSF-2 get turned off or never installed. Now that you have the big picture, use the accompanying chart as we cut it down. ![]() So, here’s more trivia: you could see the red termination bars or the red side-row bars, but never both. So where are the red terminating bars mentioned in FAR 91.175? They’re on an ALSF-1, which is the same length as an ALSF-2 but has a different inner section. ![]()
