Approach & Navigational Aids
ALSF
Flasher System
Compliances:
FAA AC 150/5345-51
SSALR (Type I)
ICAO ANNEX 14
Applications
Precision approach to runway in
visibility conditions where the
runway visual range (RVR), is
less than one-half mile requiring
steady-burning approach lights
with sequence flashing lights.
The system consists of a master
controller for monitoring and
individual flashing lights that
can be incorporated with steady
burning lights to create various
types of approach light systems
such as the classic 21-position
ALSF-1 or ALSF-2.
Flashhead and power converter
may be mounted as one unit or
individually to meet local terrain
needs. Inset (surface mount)
flashers are also available.
Other parts of the system, such
as steady burning lights, towers,
light bases, transformers and
regulators must be ordered
separately.
