Airports - 03 - Airport Lighting 

Taxiway lights, or sometimes called Harrison Ford runway lights.

I knew all of this, but well....damn, this was just a very well-explained and straight forward explanation on airport lighting. Loved it.

In USN air traffic control school right now, having this as a visual guide has helped me understand the material way better

My dad is an engineer that designs the systems for all these lights; and he gets mad when contractors try to cut corners during installation. I remember helping count all the lights when he'd need to bring plans home. Now I know what they mean.

best video on the subject I've seen BY FAR

This video is exactly what I needed

0:08 Assuming that not all towers look the same, that looks exactly like the tower at my local airport!

Great short and straight forward teaching lighting video

Now i am Ready to Land Confidently if somehow pilots got sick.. :D

That is Atlantic CIty Int'l Airport at 0:19

Pure Gold.. My question got answered , about the high tower beacon lightining

Yes yes I just drove by the runway and I see the lights all different pretty colors

I didn't realize that lights had so much more to do with landing than just to show where the runway is!

Your video is perfect. I'm really grandful for your help.

thank you for sharing valuable information

Excellent video! Simple yet very infornative.Now i had a peek of the workings of our airport. Bravo!

Bravo 👏👏👏 The best explanation 👍

Does the,erau stand for embry riddle,aero univ?

Excellent video! Simple yet very infornative.Now i had a peek of the workings of our airport

Thank u so much for this explanation

beacon towers are located at least sixty miles from the air traffic control to aid visual communication

While landing, Huge Aircrafts such as B-747 and A380 ,the distance between the tip of the landing Gear to the pilot seeing up is 21 feet. So, they see 3white and 1red PAPI light.

Succinct, to-the-point and great coverage of the topic. Great video.

You did not say how you can manually turn the lights on manually if tower is closed. If you hit your yoke atc button 3 times. 4 and 5 times is for the brightness.

Dude your videos are amazing what you edit with?

very good, sophisticated helpful video. thank you.

Amazing video, thank you so much 😊

Thank you

Very very very helpful

thank you thank you thank YOU! but you left out Runway threshold lights. i had a question in my airlaw exam regarding its color and where it is positioned.

These are great

Can you do a video on how light communications are used?

Very good! - now ready to take off :) Thumbs Up!

Very informative video.

thanks very informative.

military beacon light is red CAP 637 Chapter 5- 5.2 (EASA)

Well done!

A very good tutorial Thanks.

Tooooo awsome video. Thank u so much

It's interesting how we still rely on all these visual aids for pilots.

Alternative for physical lights installed on runway.......

Great stuff!

Nice video

Excellent

great video, informative but use the metric system

Great vid. thanks

How do they check if all these lights work and if there are any of them broken? A person goes and checks them in the field or do they have an automated system?

Easy way to remember the PAPI lights Red on White im alright Red on Red im dead White and White check your height LIKE IF I HELP YOU :)

What program did you use to simulate please?

You know that this was an American runway because in the USA & its possessions (Puerto Rico, American Samoa, etc) this was painted "runway 4" as opposed to ICAO standards of "runway 04". Go to Google Earth and zoom in on runways both inside the USA as well as outside the USA and this will prove my point. Proper ATC terminology in the USA is "runway 4". Proper ICAO terminology outside the USA is "runway 04". FYI.

What about a huge and I mean huge red light? As you taxi out because I have only seen it once

On any airport runway in the world, u wl find two numbers written at both the two ends of the runway. What's the meaning/significance of these two numbers and what's the difference between the two numbers n why is the difference always constant for all the runways in the world ?

*Outstanding*

well done, tks ! I wished you'd make an HD version.

Runway Edge Lights' information is not correct. Edge lights are 60 meters apart, not 90/180 feets (time:4.19)

Taxiway Runways center lights runway 07 turn left heading 09 zero niner

good vid

PAPI -Precision Approach Path Indicator Vasi Visual Approach Slope Indicator

The One I saw Was Red and White

What is the name of the runway lighting show ? I mean applications used to make this video 🥰

i thought it was minecraft from the thumbnail

Simple question from someone who knows virtually nothing about airports - what does the number at the start of the runway mean ?

Im Just an airplane an, but damn this is informative

Is the Sully himself explaining. Your voice sounds like Tom Hanks.😂

I thought I knew airport lighting well. Until I landed in the middle of a carnival midway. On the good side though, and ignoring the lady decapitated by my propeller.....ice cream waffles!

Watched this when doing easyJet training

cool

Exlnt infarmtion 🚦🚦✈🛩

I'd love for you to do a video on NORDO approaches and the lights associated with these.

Great

There was a mistake ...in approach lights its white over red not red over white

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

using LGA as an example airport??

Non controlled or non towered

3:40 except for the Concorde... :D

The airport beacon, It's ultimately teal and clear.

I don't know but now I do

hi i live near an airport. can i control the lighting as a local resident?

2:25 REIL is pronounced "real". RAIL is pronounced "rail".

It would be funny to see if an airplane actually pops those lights that are embedded into the ground out

After watching this video I got no conclusion

Control airport and non control airport NDB Non directional Beacon Military Runways Run -way

*MAY BE AS STEEP* as 5 degrees 2:57

In Jesus`, Name, Amen.

Congrats now you can land an aircraft easily
