5 Reasons To Retrofit Your Airport Runway Lighting System’s Legacy Equipment

Runway safety is non-negotiable at every airport, regardless of size, capacity, or location. Operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness are also critical elements of running an airport with sustainable profitability. However, if any of the elements begin to slip due to aging, deterioration, or outdated runway lighting equipment, retrofitting your legacy parts and equipment goes from mere maintenance to becoming a strategic investment in performance, compliance, and long-term cost control.

Everything You Need To Know About Precision Approach Path Indicator Lighting (PAPI)

When commercial airports started operating in the early 1900s, runway lighting systems often consisted of kerosene flares, beacon fires, and floodlights to mark the landing area. Back then, airport operators used whatever was handy to ensure the safe and efficient takeoff and landing of aircraft. Fast forward to today’s modern airports, where advanced technology has become indispensable in everyday runway lighting systems. One key example of an innovation that pilots have come to rely on during approach is the Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI).

Why Lighted Wind Cones Are a Critical Part of Your Runway Lighting System

Runway lighting systems are designed to reduce pilot uncertainty. They guide aircraft through low-visibility conditions, prevent runway incursions, and ensure safe, efficient takeoffs, landings, and ground movements A critical component of any complete runway lighting system is the lighted wind cone. These high-tech units provide pilots with reliable, real-time information about surface wind direction and relative wind speed during approach, landing, and taxiing. Without them, you run the risk of crosswind landings, aborted takeoffs, and runway accidents.
