Introduction to the Program
This program is designed to address the lighting systems and their functionality as a means of information to aircraft”
This Postgraduate certificate is designed to develop the content on visual aids on the air side and non-visual aids on the airfield. It deals with the lighting systems, describing their connection to the runway, taxiways or apron, indicating their geometrical and luminous configuration and their usefulness. But also, how they are in themselves a communication system for aircraft pilots.
Likewise, this program deals, in several lessons, with the definition of the airfield paintings or horizontal signaling and to understand how they are intended to assist the pilot in flight, during taxiing, takeoff or landing. The content delves into the types of signs that can be placed on the airfield, their location requirements and their meanings, as well as which ones are mandatory and which ones are informational.
