Outdoor Lighting for the Airport Environment and impact on IESNA RLC documents Miami, Florida September 14, 2012 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.
