	Chapter 2 Section 1 Airport Lighting Aids
		On runways with both approach lighting and runway lighting (runway edge lights, taxiway lights, etc.) systems, the approach lighting system takes precedence for air-to-ground radio control over the runway lighting system which is set at a predetermined intensity step, based on expected visibility conditions.
		Airports with IAPs include data on the approach chart identifying the light system, the runway on which they are installed, and the frequency that is used to activate the system.
		Operational requirements dictate the sophistication and configuration of the approach light system for a particular runway.

	Instrument Landing System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Instrument Landing System (ILS) is an instrument approach system which provides precise guidance to an aircraft approaching a runway and in some cases along the runway surface.
		The approach light system (abbreviated ALS) assists the pilot in transitioning from instrument to visual flight, and to align the aircraft visually with the runway centerline.
		ILS systems are required to shutdown upon internal detection of a fault condition as mentioned in the monitoring section.

		These system provides the pilot of an approaching aircraft with the visual glide slope indication, which when flown will ensure adequate clearance of the aircraft over any obstacles in the approach, and will provide for the aircraft to cross the threshold at an appropriate height.
		The lights are used to assist approaching aircraft during lower visibility conditions to identify the ideal landing area of the runway.
		Transport Canada has adopted a system of alpha and alpha numeric designators for the naming of taxiways, which Vancouver International Airport adopted, as the airport had reached its alpha designator limit.

	Pilot Control of Airport Lighting Systems
		To use the lighting system, the pilot selects the designated frequency on the VHF COM radio and prompts the lights by clicking the switch on the microphone a particular number of times.
		Air Traffic Control (ATC) and the Flight Service Station (FSS) usually have control of the runway lighting systems at airports.
		Upon arrival, if the runway lights have previously been turned on by another pilot, it's a good idea to reactivate them to guarantee a full 15 minutes for approach and landing.
