The entire extension began from the old 36 threshold extending towards the city. Rotorua's will have changed a little recently, due to the runway being extended from 1378m (4200ft) to 1661m (5063ft) - they started getting more 737s in and got sick of the weight restrictions. Still wondering how far out from the airport a "typical" RLLS/LDIN is likely to extend to - and what colour lights are generally used for this. How well can you use a RLLS if you can't use the PAPI is another thing I am wondering about! It does show the OKERE (named for the springs you circle over) and TOTRA holding points outside 12NM DME - like a lot of regional NZ airports Rotorua Tower controls airspace to 12NM after that it's Christchurch. However the AIP does not state exactly where these are (!). When I checked, the airport elevation is 935ft, critical obstacle elevation 1090ft, 2159m from runway 36 threshold.ĬGL required for night operations.
NB: RWY 36 PAPI use prohibited beyond 3 DME due to obstacle path infringement. HBN F R Mokoia Island (Mandatory for night operations)ġ8 - Turning flight F W, LIL ALS, PAPI 3.0 TCH 47, LIL RWYģ6 - LIL RLLS, LIL ALS, PAPI 3.0 TCH 49, LIL RWY Let me give some example data, apologies if the abbreviations used are different to those in other parts of the world. What DID surprise me was that it is a VFR aid, and I'd thought it was part of the IFR system. It generally says each airport is different, but it's generally due to terrain, obstructions, or noise abatement, or a combination, that a system like this is installed. The combination of general and accent lighting results in a dynamic light experience. LDIN may well be the US term for a RLLS! Thank you for the term - had a look on the internet and this site sort of shows what I mean The Runway system allows the user to easily find the right balance between general and accent lighting and offers the possibility to vary that balance for different areas of the room.
