L-849 I LED REILs Runway End Identifier Light System
The L-849I LED Runway End Identifier Light (REIL) System is a landing aid for pilots to identify the approach end of a runway and help provide adequate time for pilots to plan and execute a safe approach and landing at night or in reduced visibility conditions.
APPLICATION
The Navigate Series® L-849I LED Runway End Identifier Light (REIL) System is a landing aid for pilots to identify the approach end of a runway. The REIL system includes two Identifier Units (Flashers) and are installed at each side of the approach end of the runway. The lights are angled to have an effective visual range in clear weather of approximately 3 miles during the day and approximately 20 miles at night. This provides pilots with adequate time to plan and execute a safe approach and landing at night or in reduced visibility conditions.
