Runwaylights RWY02/20

CBR · Post by **CBR** » 26 Dec 2016, 20:23

Many times this month I used to A58 towards Tilburg and noticed lit runwaylights on rwy02/20 as early as 8 am.

Does someone know why these lights are on, although I never saw any planes using it? Any purpose??

Hope to hear, rgds, Carl.

Could be on for inspection. It is common to inspect the runway- and taxiwaylighting before flying starts.

Cheers,

Hoewel niet vaak, wordt runway 02-20 toch wel met enige regelmaat gebruikt.
Niet zo heel lang geleden is er zelfs een Hercules op geland en de PC-7's weten de baan ook te vinden.

Iedere doordeweekse ochtend wordt alle baanverlichting gecontroleerd, dus zowel taxi-tracks als de landingsbanen.
