Maintenance of power supply and airfield lighting facilities at aerodromes

This manual aims at describing the good practices and the procedures of preventive maintenance that should be implemented on all power supply and airfield lighting facilities at aerodromes.
By guaranteeing the adequate availability and reliability of systems, complying with the guidance material contained in this document should ensure a sufficient safety level for aircraft operations on the manoeuvring area and protect maintenance operators against electrical risks.
Intended for employees of civil aviation supervisory authorities as well as maintenance staff working for aerodrome operators, this manual describes, among other things, as follows:

• the training program of maintenance operators working on power supply and airfield lighting facilities at aerodromes,
• the procedures and periodicities of maintenance operations,
• the regulatory required checks to be performed on electrical systems,
• the maintenance performance objectives to be reached in terms of qualitative objectives (maintaining the initial functions of the systems) and quantitative objectives (maintaining the minimum percentages of serviceable airfield lights).
