Purpose of Approach Direction Lights
These lights are installed whenever it has been determined that approach guidance is
required in order to restrict the path of approach to the helipad or when additional
guidance is needed by the pilots.
7-3.2.1
Configuration of Approach Direction Lights
Provide aviation white, omni-directional lights in two parallel rows extending out from the
landing direction lights. Each row must consist of five lights spaced 15 meters (50 feet)
apart, starting 37.5 meters (125 feet) from the perimeter lights and offset 1.5 meters (5
feet) either side of the extended centerline of the landing direction lights. The slope of
the approach direction lights must be the same as that used for the landing direction
lights. (See Figure 7-4.)
