AO-0209 — Enhanced Runway Usage Awareness

The runway usage awareness is enhanced thanks to implementation of the Runway Status Light (RWSL) system (which covers both new procedures and new airfield lights). RWSL is a surveillance driven automatic system that visually indicates to flight crews and vehicle drivers when it is unsafe to enter, use or cross a runway, through new airfield lights which can be composed of Runway Entrance Lights (REL), Take-off Hold Lights (THL) and Runway Intersection Lights (RIL).
