Aerodrome Design Manual (Doc 9157) Part 4 - Visual Aids
Also Known As: ICAO 9157-4
The standard, ICAO 9157 Part 4:2004, titled "Aerodrome Design Manual - Visual Aids," provides essential guidance and requirements for the proper design and installation of visual aids at airports. Visual aids play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of airport operations, and this manual aims to outline their characteristics and functions.
Part 4 of the manual covers various aspects related to visual aids, including functional requirements, surface marking and markers, approach lighting systems, and characteristics of lights used for precision approach runways and taxiways. The standard also details the design and installation of runway lead-in lighting systems, runway and taxiway lighting, surface movement guidance and control systems, as well as taxiing guidance signs and obstacle lighting.
By providing comprehensive information on visual aids, this standard helps airport authorities, designers, and engineers ensure that airports meet the necessary requirements for safe and efficient operations. It serves as a valuable resource to promote consistency and adherence to international standards in the design and implementation of visual aids at airports worldwide.
