One of the most important parts of night flying is to know and understand the various kinds of airport and approach lighting that you might encounter. In his article “N=Nightlights,” editor Tom Hoffmann examines different types of airport lights and how they help you compensate for the lack of visual detail that is part of night flying. Hoffmann also explores how LED technology is improving airport light and reducing maintenance costs. The article appears in the Nov/Dec 2015 issue of FAA Safety Briefing (www.faa.gov/news/safety_briefing).
