IES Aviation Lighting Committee (ALC)
Recommended Practice Subcommittee
 The scope of outdoor lighting in the airport environment
includes aircraft stands and apron areas, roadways,
vehicular parking facilities, passenger loading and
unloading areas and pedestrian walkways. The
recommendations included in this IESNA RP provide guidance
for lighting of these areas while emphasizing the
restrictions, regulations, and best practices for the safe
movement of aircraft.
 This IESNA RP does not provide guidance for Aeronautical
Ground Lighting systems, such as Runway, Taxiway and
Approach Lighting. This IESNA RP is not to be used for
lighting design in the vicinity of Heliports.
