Fischer Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Hi I am planning to make a display base for my airliners. It is going to be a section of the taxi way. The problems are the lights. I know that the border lights are blue, but wich is the distance between them. And the guide lights in the middle of the runway, what color are they?? An what about the distance between them??

okthree Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Generally lights along the taxiway and runways in the US are space at 200' intervals. I'm pretty sure that this is an ICAO standard. Taxiway markings are yellow and the lines are solid not dashed as on the runway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eri Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) Holding points double dash yellow lines, taxiways centrelines are solid yellow as written above. Some airports have "follow the greens" means during night operations the yellow lines which might not be so visible is substitute for green lights. Taxiway edge lights are blue, Holding points are lighted at night, red for stop, green for enter or approve to cross. Those are call stopbar lights. Runway edge lights are white, Runway end lights are red. If the runway has a turnpad, that could also be lighted green as per "follow the greens" Edited March 7, 2011 by Eri Quote Link to post Share on other sites
