AIRPORT BEACONS
Airport beacons help a pilot identify an airport at night. The beacons are operated from dusk till dawn and sometimes they are turned on if the ceiling is less than 1,000 feet and/or the ground visibility is less than 3 statute miles (visual flight rules minimums). However, there is no requirement for this, so a pilot has the responsibility of determining if the weather is VFR.
The beacon has a vertical light distribution to make it most effective from 1-10° above the horizon, although it can be seen well above or below this spread. The beacon may be an omni-directional capacitor-discharge device, or it may rotate at a constant speed, which produces the visual effect of flashes at regular intervals. The combination of light colors from an airport beacon indicates the type of airport.
Some of the most common beacons are:
Flashing white and green for civilian land airports.
Flashing white and yellow for a water airport.
Flashing white, yellow, and green for a heliport.
Two quick white flashes followed by a green flash identifies a military airport.
