- Contexto
- Where provided for a non-precision approach runway, the lights should show at all angles in azimuth necessary to the pilot of an aircraft which on final approach does not deviate by an abnormal amount from the path defined by the non-visual aid. The lights should be designed to provide guidance during both day and night in the most adverse conditions of visibility and ambient light for which it is intended that the system should remain usable.
- A strip including a non-precision approach runway should extend laterally to a distance of at least: — 150 m where the code number is 3 or 4; and — 75 m where the code number is 1 or 2; on each side of the centre line of the runway and its extended centre line throughout the length of the strip.
