Visual Runways - ANS those at small airstrips usually have no markings, but they may have
threshold markings, designators, and centerlines. they do not provide an instrument-based
landing procedure, pilots must be able to see the runway to use it. also, radio communication
may not be available so pilots will have to be self-reliable.
non Precision instrument Runway - ANS most often seen at small to medium-sized airports.
they have threshold marks, designators, Center Line, horizontal position guidance
Precision instrument Runway - ANS medium to large airports. Vertical and horizontal
instrument approval
approach lighting system(ALS) - ANS light bars, strobes, combo outward from approach end
of Runway
Runway and identification lights(REIL) - ANS synced flashing lights; Runway threshold
Runway end lights - ANS green is good, red is bad

Runway Centerline lighting system(RCLS) - ANS white and Center; white and red 3,000 feet
from the end can I call you red 1000 feet from end
visual approach slope indicator(VASI) - ANS red equals too high; white equals too low
purple jerseys, grapes - ANS Aviation fuels
blue jerseys - ANS plane handlers, aircraft elevator operators, airplane tractor drivers,
