Establishment Criteria for Runway End Identification Lights (REIL).

This report develops revised establishment criteria for the Runway End Identification Light REIL system based on benefitcost analysis. Three prerequisites must be met before a runway can be considered for REIL establishment 1 Each potential candidate must not be equipped with or programmed for an approach light system 2 Each potential candidate runway must be lighted and approved for night operations 3 Each potential candidate runway must have a runway end identification problem resulting from such characteristics as overriding or false lights under its approach path. Runways meeting these requirements will qualify for a REIL system as follows 1 A runway shall be a candidate when it records approximately 4900 air carrier, 1,200 air taxi including commuter or 7300 general aviation landings or an appropriate combination of these 2 Runways not satisfying the numerical criteria shall be eligible for REIL when safety requirements dictate.
