EASA Part-NCO, specifically OP.110, refers to 4 different lighting systems (NALS, BALS, IALS, FALS) to be considered when determining the landing minima. However, there are quite a few different systems, which in turn may vary in length, out there - nicely summarised in this article
Without using commercial vendors such as Jeppesen, how do you determine the lighting system "category" from the different plates? Some examples, with the associated questions ahead of time:
- for EKSP below, a 900m Calvert, is that really a Calvert-2 and would be in the FALS category?
- And because 28L only has edge lighting, it would be NALS?
- For EDDH, is ALSAF always FALS? Especially since the "LEN" mentioned in the table's header isn't actually given in the table below it?
In short, how do I "map" the actual light system to the "category" of approach lighting systems?
