It is a growing library of technical presentations and training decks on Airfield Ground Lighting by Rahul Sharma, covering fundamentals, components, runway and taxiway systems, and applicable standards.
23 presentations are published so far, starting with Introduction to Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL), a beginner-level Fundamentals deck. Others cover runway edge, threshold and end lights, taxiway lighting, approach lighting, PAPI and VASI, signs and markings, system architecture, ALCMS, photometry, standards, inspection and maintenance. More are coming soon.
What Airfield Ground Lighting is and why it matters, how an AGL series circuit is arranged, the major components used in AGL systems, an overview of runway and taxiway lighting, and basic AGL operational concepts.
Airport engineers, AGL engineers, consultants, contractors, and students and trainees.
The presentations are hosted on SlideShare. Use the Read here button on a card to load the slides into the main viewer on this page, or the View on SlideShare link to open SlideShare.
