Title: Landing Lights
Post by: FightingFalcon16 on February 01, 2012, 09:31:21 PM

Hey, some of you are going to think I'm pretty dumb, but I need some clarification on landing lights.Lights like TDLZ, RCLS, ALS, VASI. I know the exact definitions of them, but can't really picture them. Do any of you know any good diagrams I could see of them, it would be a big help.

Here are two sites that have lots of information on runway lighting:
