- Definition
- A group of lights identifying the beginning of the landing surface of the runway.
- Description
- Runway threshold lights are variable intensity red and green units in the form of wing bars along each side of the runway centerline, except that for Category II and higher runways, the red and green lights extend along the full width of the runway. Green shows in the approach direction and red shows in the opposite. When a threshold is at the extremity of a runway, the threshold lights shall be placed in a row at right angles to the runway axis as near to the extremity of the runway as possible and, in any case, not more than 3 metres outside the extremity. When a threshold is displaced from the extremity of a runway, threshold lights shall be placed in a row at right angles to the runway axis at the displaced threshold.
