Acquisition Distance of LED Based Runway Closure Lighting

项目名称：	Acquisition Distance of LED Based Runway Closure Lighting
摘要：	This project will evaluate the pilot acquisition distance of light emitting diodes LED-based runway closure lighting to ascertain if such lighting is comparable or greater than traditional incandescent (L-893) runway closure lighting. Evaluation will be completed at three airports with varying light pollution, during day and night Visual Flight Rules. This project proposes a series of controlled field experiments to be conducted at three test airports using traditional runway closure lighting (incandescent) and LED-based closure lighting. Pilots will fly approaches to a closed runway and report the distance at which the lighted Xs of each type are first observed as well as when the pilots detect the actual X and color displayed. This statement of work proposes the field experiments be conducted at the Purdue University Airport, the Ohio State University Airport, and the Orlando Melbourne International Airport. Partnering in this study will be: (1) The Federal Aviaton Administration (FAA) who will supply the LED test equipment, (2) Purdue University, Ohio State University, and Florida Institute of Technology who will supply research staff, airport technicians, and a specified location on their respective airports to administer the study, (3) Pilots and students from the respective universities who will evaluate the lighting acquisition distances and (4) The Purdue University Airport, the Ohio State University Airport, and the Orlando Melbourne International Airport.
