 MIL-HDBK-1023/4
Table A-6 (Continued)
Runway and Taxiway Lighting Systems
1/
To provide continuity of guidance, the allowable percentage of unserviceable lights should not
be in a pattern that would alter the basic pattern of the lighting system. Additionally, an
unserviceable light should not be adjacent to another unserviceable light except in a barrette or
a crossbar where two adjacent unserviceable lights may be permitted. With respect to
barrettes, crossbars and runway edge lights, lights are considered to be adjacent if located
consecutively and:
Laterally - in the same barrette or crossbar; or
Longitudinally - in the same row of the edge lights or barrettes.
2/
Threshold lights for precision runways are part of the approach lighting system and are not
included in this table.
