EVALUATION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF TAXIWAY LIGHTING INTENSITY STANDARDS

The purpose of this evaluation was to gather data to produce taxiway lighting intensity standards to be incorporated into DOT/FAA Order 7110.65H, Air Traffic Control. Currently, there are no tables of standard intensity settings for taxiway lighting systems. Air traffic controllers are only instructed to operate the taxiway lights between sunset and sunrise and at other times they consider it necessary.
