The west-facing runway is equipped with a localizer instrument approach and a medium intensity approach lighting system which allows for a small improvement in landing minimums.
32.
Poor visibility and low cloud cover led to an Douglas C-47B hitting the outermost pole of the approach lighting system before crashing into a field and catching fire.
33.
Runway 12 is equipped with a Category 1 Instrument landing system incorporating a high intensity approach lighting array to assist aircraft approaching the airport in poor weather conditions.
34.
It is equipped at both ends with Instrument Landing Systems ( ILS ), Approach Lighting Systems ( ALS ) with sequenced flashers, and touchdown zone ( TDZ ) lighting.
35.
Runway 5 also has high intensity runway edge lighting ( HIRL ), visual approach slope indicator lights ( VASI ), and a medium intensity approach lighting system ( MALSR ).
36.
Some vehicles have " approach lighting " ( puddle lights ) in the exterior mirrors or lower edges of the doors, as well as interior lighting activated via key fob.
37.
The main runway was lengthened from approximately to its present length during the early 1970s or thereabouts and an instrument landing system and approach lighting system was installed on the southwest-facing runway 23.
38.
The Captain deliberately turned the plane to the left when he realized the plane would go off the end of the runway, and into the approach lighting system ( ALS ) for runway 31.
39.
Some airports have more complicated lighting on the runways including lights that run down the centerline of the runway and lights that help indicate the approach ( an approach lighting system, or ALS ).
40.
The main runway had a full parallel taxiway, runway edge lighting was provided on all runways, T-VASIS lighting on runways 04 and 22, and high intensity Calvert white precision approach lighting on runway 22.
