Runway Lighting

Posted by on November 2, 2011

The old white lights hadn’t been turned on in ages. The pilot controlled lighting system was struck by lighting and remained nonfunctional ever since. We took the ARCAL box down and are working on fixing it. We can activate it using a handheld radio from only a few feet, but we’re still working on the effective range. The frequency is also outdated, using 122.8 where the current CTAF is 122.9. A new frequency crystal and antenna and we should be in business. It’s a type K system. Click your mic 5 times within 5 seconds and it’ll activate. There are no taxiway lights, PAPI nor VASI, or runway end lights. Maybe someday!
