SAFETY LIGHTING IN AIRPORT MARAH AL HASAN 1830979 DANIA SAMIR 1836803
- The journey of travel begins with entering the airport first, and the lighting in the airport building forms the hidden language that leads the person to his destination safely and then direct the planes from the beginning of their movement until they reach the place of take-off and then land safely it operates as an integrated system as if a person communicates and directs everyone around him to ensure that things are running effectively .
That is why we chose this topic ...... * Safety lighting above the clouds This topic talks about the role of lighting in achieving safety while the plane is in the upper atmosphere
* landing safely with lights This topic talks about the large and very important role of lighting in the success of the process of landing the plane and directing it to the runways safely
* Airport movement safety This topic talks about the role of lighting in guiding people and planes in emergency situations by using materials that emit light next to the existing emergency sign
SAFTEY LIGHTING ABOVE THE CLOUDS “ - The passenger boards the plane after passing a set of stages and procedures before reaching the destination, and during that there is a light language that seems from the first sight to be silent, but it speaks clearly to specialists in the form of indicative symbols, and each symbol has its independent use on the sides of the plane and above and below its body. These symbols lead a map The route of the transcontinental and oceanic journey in all safety.
- The symbols of external aircraft lights are divided into two categories, some of which are used to distinguish the aircraft from collision prevention and protect its surroundings, and the other to help pilots enhance visibility from the cockpit, and aircraft are equipped with a variety of lights used for navigation and safety purposes, and to improve visibility during flight or when the aircraft is in motion. on the ground to alert the vehicles in the flight deck that the aircraft is in motion or during the take-off and landing phases on the tarmac.
- Among those lights that characterize aircraft are navigation lights that operate continuously, as they help determine the direction of the aircraft right and left or move away and approach, as there are red lights on the front end of the left wing of the plane, and green lights on the front end of the right wing of the plane, in addition to a white light On the tail of the plane, and in the lighthouse, there are two lights above and below the hull of the plane in red color that flash continuously before turning on the engines and even turning them off.

SAFTEY LIGHTING ABOVE THE CLOUDS “ - The flashing lights systems that operate continuously from the moment of entering the runway until exiting it after landing, take into account the location of the aircraft, where the lighting becomes white on the front end of the right and left wing of the aircraft, and the lighting directed to the vertical tail of the aircraft becomes white in order to highlight the logo of the airline carrier and its mark commercial.

- As for the illumination to enhance the visibility from the cockpit, there are taxi lights that are used when the aircraft is on the ground, and alert the vehicles in the flight deck that the aircraft is in motion, and the landing lights that are used in the landing and take-off stages, as for the wing inspection lighting that contributes to detecting Snow on the engines and wings, and white lights are directed on the front of the wings and engines and are used when needed. These lights are also effective to avoid collision, in addition to the turn lights that are directed at an angle to the sides of the aircraft when turning

LANDING SAFELY WITH LIGHTS “ - Colorful lights cover taxiways and runways to help pilots navigate the airport. Red, blue, green, amber, and white lights glow, flash, and race across the ground. all these process to ensure safely landing

LANDING SAFELY WITH LIGHTS “ - Runways designed for low visibility operations (bad weather) have a lot of lights. * Note that not all runways have the same light configuration. The runway at St. Thomas, USVI, has only basic edge lighting because the weather is usually gorgeous. Foggy San Francisco, on the other hand, needs a full lighting system for low visibility weather.

This language used in lighting ensures safe landing and take-off in the worst weather conditions and at all times, thus maintaining the safety of passengers, and thus lighting plays the largest and most important role in maintaining safety.
LANDING SAFELY WITH LIGHTS “ - Taxi Lights After an aircraft leaves the gate, the first challenge pilots face is navigating the plane to the runway for takeoff. Both day and night, airport lights make it easy to maneuver around the maze of taxiways
- Blue Lights:
Taxiway edge lights are always blue. The blue taxi lights are easy to spot from the
terminal and are often the first airport lights seen by passengers. Blue taxiway lights are typically illuminated after dark and during bad weather. For many airports, the blue lights are all that is necessary to mark the taxiways. TAXIWAY edges are indicated

AIRPORT MOVEMENT SAFTEY “ - Movement saftey for global airports The airport is an element of the public transport system by receiving passengers, baggage, cargo and commercial mail. It provides the necessary services for aircraft and ensures their safety. Airport infrastructure is a complex and integrated structure consisting of many buildings and facilities and is : •
Aircraft landing strips.
•
Sheds downtime and maintenance.
•
Warehouses.
•
Fuel stores.
•
Emergency and fire stations.
•
Service passenger stations.
•
Postal and shipping centers.
•
Motor connections to buildings.
•
Security, control and public services centers.
- The landing runwayIt is one of the most important movement and security corners of the airport. We
cannot imagine an airport in the world without the landing runway, which consists of several parallel movement helipads connected by special service entrances and exits for the aircraft and the mechanisms serving the runway.
AIRPORT MOVEMENT SAFTEY “ Aircraft parking. The places where aircraft and vehicles servicing these aircraft are parked must be clear to the naked eye through guiding lines directed to workers on these vehicles so as to provide them with a clear guiding vision at night and in the day and in all weather conditions without exception.
- In case of fire, smoke rises and obscures high exit signs. For this reason, airlines have lighted strips on the floor to guide people to the exits. These lighted strips on the floor or on the lower wall need not be electrified, because photolumi-nescent materials can be used. Such materials absorb light and continue to glow even when no longer illuminated
- The floor and wall lines, as well as the directional stickers from Acme Light, are all glow-in-the-dark with outstanding strength and intensity, as well as a full or partial heat and fire resistance factor.

Studies have proven that if travelers in buildings had the opportunity to see places to go out in the
dark during disasters, the number of deaths or injuries would decrease by no less than 95% of the achieved causes, now that panic and stampede generate injuries that exceed injuries from the disaster itself.
