4-5.3.6
Cables and transformers may be laid on the surface but must be protected
from damage.
4-5.3.7
Modify runway edge lights in the temporary displaced area to show red
light toward the approach direction (see Figures 4-8 and 4-9). (When the displaced area
is intended to be used for rollout or taxiing operations, the color of the edge lights must
be modified with red toward approach and white toward the runway.) See paragraph
4-2.3 for photometric requirements on instrument runways.
4-5.3.8
Runway centerline lights in the displaced area will be blanked toward the
approach direction and red toward the runway opposite the approach.
4-5.3.9
Runway Distance Markers (RDM) number panels facing toward the
opposite end approach must be blanked or temporarily replaced with the new number
panels reflecting the shorter distance to go. Renumbering is done so that at least 300
meters (1,000 feet) remain between the last number (#1) and the displaced runway end.

RUNWAY END LIGHTS
4-6.1
Purpose
Runway end lights define the end of the operational runway surface for aircraft for
landing, rollout or takeoff. They are required on all lighted operational runways.
4-6.2
Configuration
Runway end lights consist of 10 red lights in two groups of 5 lights. Place the groups
symmetrically and on a line perpendicular to, the runway centerline within 3 meters (10
feet) of the end of the usable runway surface. The lights in each group must have a
uniform spacing between 3 meters (10 feet) and 4.5 meters (15 feet). The out-board-
most light in each group must be in line with the line of the runway edge lights on that
side of the runway. Runway end lights are usually co-located with the opposite end
threshold lights. Where they are co-located, runway end lights may be incorporated into
