- Airport lighting does much more than just increase visibility at night. It can also help a pilot determine where they are on the airfield, and even how much runway they have left in front of them. This video shows you what all of those different colored lights mean!

Taxiway lights, or sometimes called Harrison Ford runway lights.
PointyTailofSatan I liked it

@@PointyTailofSatan well what about Islamic people? Or budhists?
I knew all of this, but well....damn, this was just a very well-explained and straight forward explanation on airport lighting. Loved it.
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.
What is their method of checking all these lights if they work? They have an automated check system or does a person check them manually?
@@alexandrugeorge1573 I don't know. I'll have to ask him.
In USN air traffic control school right now, having this as a visual guide has helped me understand the material way better
best video on the subject I've seen BY FAR
This video is exactly what I needed
Great short and straight forward teaching lighting video
0:08 Assuming that not all towers look the same, that looks exactly like the tower at my local airport!
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!
That is Atlantic CIty Int'l Airport at 0:19
Your video is perfect. I'm really grandful for your help.
Pure Gold.. My question got answered , about the high tower beacon lightining
Excellent video! Simple yet very infornative.Now i had a peek of the workings of our airport. Bravo!
Bravo 👏👏👏
The best explanation 👍

Now i am Ready to Land Confidently if somehow pilots got sick.. :D
I do dispatch...can you please help
Neema Dorcas yess sure
Well now’s a good time. Many a sick pilot
Hi
@@lucabloor1086 You would all be screwed lol. You think its do able until you are in the situation.
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.
Correct
thank you for sharing valuable information
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.
Depending on the system, the pilot clicks the mic 3, 5, or 7 times. For example, on a MALSR, 3 clicks for low intensity, 5 clicks for medium intensity, 7 clicks for high intensity. The lights turn off after 15 minutes.
Succinct, to-the-point and great coverage of the topic. Great video.

Does the,erau stand for embry riddle,aero univ?
Thank u so much for this explanation
very good, sophisticated helpful video. thank you.
ty
Amazing video, thank you so much 😊
Can you do a video on how light communications are used?
Very informative video.
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.
military beacon light is red
CAP 637 Chapter 5- 5.2 (EASA)
That beacon refers to the one located on the plane. The rotating beacon located on the airfield for military is WHITE-WHITE- GREEN. but in all honesty the lights look more Blue in the air
Very good! - now ready to take off :) Thumbs Up!
Very very very helpful
These are great
Thank you
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 :)
You watch ‘Captain Joe’ too then?
It's interesting how we still rely on all these visual aids for pilots.
Tooooo awsome video. Thank u so much
A very good tutorial Thanks.
Alternative for physical lights installed on runway.......
Dude your videos are amazing what you edit with?
Taxiway Runways center lights runway 07 turn left heading 09 zero niner
thanks very informative.
What is the name of the runway lighting show ?
I mean applications used to make this video 🥰
Well done!
great video, informative but use the metric system
I'm afraid not because internationally, all pilots use feet not meters.
All pilots use Feet Not Meters.
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 ?
The numbers correlate to the compass heading during flight.
Great stuff!
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?
The airport authority performs periodic runway inspections during the day.
Great vid. thanks
Hospital chopper pads flash green, white,and red
Kevin Pippin Those used to be the lights for all helipads; I guess they’ve changed them now. By the way, where did TASI go? They were installed at Ft Rucker on the night training field back in the Vietnam era. Cheap; just one light; looked like an upside down traffic-light, very effective at night.
Excellent

Runway Edge Lights' information is not correct. Edge lights are 60 meters apart, not 90/180 feets (time:4.19)
According to the Airfield Standards published by the FAA, Runway edge lights on both High and Medium Intensity Lighting Systems shall be uniformly spaced from threshold to threshold with the maximum distance between lights not exceeding 60m or 200ft. So while you are correct that 60m is a possible spacing for edge lights, it is not the requirement, merely the maximum allowable distance between lights.
AVIATION YWG nah, it cant be vary between airport, see airport chart, like incheon its 50m apart
The airport beacon, It's ultimately teal and clear.
Nice video
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.
Simple question from someone who knows virtually nothing about airports - what does the number at the start of the runway mean ?
The numbers mean the runway number. For example, if you are flying an airplane and see the numbers 27 at the end of the runway you are landing on, it means your compass heading is 270. You are flying due west.
Watched this when doing easyJet training
well done, tks ! I wished you'd make an HD version.
The One I saw Was Red and White
What program did you use to simulate please?
Im Just an airplane an, but damn this is informative
an = Fan i meant*
There was a mistake ...in approach lights its white over red not red over white
I'd love for you to do a video on NORDO approaches and the lights associated with these.
Exlnt infarmtion 🚦🚦✈🛩
Great
Is the Sully himself explaining. Your voice sounds like Tom Hanks.😂
good vid

I don't know but now I do
Non controlled or non towered

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!
What the heck is this 😂😂😂😂😂
3:40 except for the Concorde... :D
And 747, or any aircraft with a higher cockpit :)
@@OdhranMurray No. Usually it works for 747s and A380s
@@iiqxcc7257 captain joe said 3 whites on the 747 is perfect since they're higher. Idk maybe it is
@@OdhranMurray Oh okay.

hi i live near an airport. can i control the lighting as a local resident?
Male Rights Feminist Fortunately for pilots and passengers everywhere, you cannot.
Probabley not but but it would be fun
NO
NO WAY
that has got to be the dumbest question I've ever seen, why the fuck do u care about the lights if ur not a pilot
It would be funny to see if an airplane actually pops those lights that are embedded into the ground out
This happens from time to time, but they can quickly be exchanged.
There have been a couple of instances where the nose wheel runs over the lights and snaps the mounting bolts, send the light fixture into the fuselage.
