Evaluation of United States Air Force Portable Airfield Lighting System

摘要

An evaluation of a prototype portable airfield lighting system was conducted for the United States Air Force by the Federal Aviation Administration at the National Aviation Facilities Experimental Center (NAFEC), Atlantic City, New Jersey. The system was designed to provide both day and night visual guidance in VFR and IFR weather straight-in and circling approaches and landings. Comparative tests were conducted using Precision Approach Radar (PAR) in weather conditions of approximately 1/2-mile visibility. (Author)
