What signs are required at certificated airports? - ANSWER Internally illuminated signs for taxi routes, holding positions, ILS critical areas 18. What lighting is required at certificated airports? - ANSWER applicable runway lighting; taxiway lighting (centerline or edge lights or reflectors); airport beacon; applicable approach lighting; obstruction lighting; no lights may interfere with air traffic safety 19. Which airport markings require black borders? - ANSWER RWY centerline, threshold, displaced threshold, threshold bar, aiming points, landing designator, touchdown zone; holding positions; non-movement area boundary; SMGS taxiway centerlines; enhanced taxiway centerline; geographic position marking 20. When are black boarders not required? - ANSWER New asphalt up to two years old 21. When is an obstruction light required? - ANSWER at night or during limited visibility when the obstruction is deemed to present a potential hazard to air traffic 22. How many sequenced flashing lights (rabbit lights) are there? - ANSWER five lights that extend past the 1,000ft mark of the approach lights 23. Describe the MALSF lighting system. - ANSWER Medium-Intensity Approach Lighting System with Sequence Flashing Lights: 1400ft; 9 light bars each with 5 steady burning white fixtures, 5 sequence flashing white fixtures, and threshold bar of 18 steady burning green fixtures. 24. What type of approach lighting system is required for ILS CAT II and III approaches? - ANSWER ALSF-1 or 2 (approach lighting system with sequenced flashers) 25. Describe the ODALS lighting system. - ANSWER Omni-Directional Approach Lighting System; consists of five runway alignment white strobes beginning 300ft from the threshold and 300ft apart with two additional white strobes used to indicate the runway threshold 26. What are runway end identification lights (REIL)? - ANSWER a single flashing white light on either side of the runway at the threshold within 40ft of the runway edge and in-line with the runway threshold lights 27. For a two-bar VASI system, where are the bars located? - ANSWER 800ft and 1,200ft from the threshold; red over white indicates on a 3 degree glide path 28. What is the effective range of the PAPI system? - ANSWER 5 miles daytime, 20 miles at night 29.
