Touchdown Zone Lights (TDZL) is another example of lights providing additional support for a pilot and not every airport has them. They are to be found at category II and II precise-approach runways.
Navigating an aircraft at night or during low visibility conditions can be supported by additional runway lighting. An example of such lighting are runway centerline lights (RCLs). Only several precise runways are equipped with them.
Runway threshold lights are installed at runways equipped with edge lights. This rule does not include non-instrumental runways and imprecise approach runways, where there is a displaced threshold and wing bars are used.
Runway edge lighting is white and constant. It should be installed not more than 3 meters away from the runway edge, symmetrically with the runway centerline.
Are an airstrip and runway the same things? Which lights belong to a runway and what are additional lights supporting a pilot during landing and take-off operations?
