What is the purpose of NCC.OP.110 under EASA regulations?

NCC.OP.110 addresses aerodrome operating minima, providing general guidance for air operations.

What are the different classes of lighting facilities mentioned in the document?

The classes of lighting facilities mentioned are FALS (full approach lighting system), IALS (intermediate approach lighting system), BALS (basic approach lighting system), and NALS (no approach lighting system or other approach lighting system less than 210m).

Where can I find specifications for approach lighting systems according to ICAO and FAA?

Specifications can be found in Table 17, which compares ICAO and FAA approach lighting systems, including length, configuration, and intensity.

What does FALS stand for, and what are its specifications according to ICAO and FAA?

FALS stands for Full Approach Lighting System. According to ICAO, it's a CAT I lighting system (HIALS ≥ 720 m) with distance-coded center line and barrette center line. According to FAA, it includes ALSF1, ALSF2, SSALR, MALSR, high- or medium-intensity and/or flashing lights, 720 m or more.

Approach lighting systems — ICAO and FAA specifications

Class of lighting facility	Length, configuration and intensity of approach lights
FALS	ICAO: CAT I lighting system (HIALS ≥ 720 m) distance coded centre line, barrette centre line FAA: ALSF1, ALSF2, SSALR, MALSR, high- or medium-intensity and/or flashing lights, 720 m or more
IALS	ICAO: simple approach lighting system (HIALS 420–719 m) single source, barrette FAA: MALSF, MALS, SALS/SALSF, SSALF, SSALS, high- or medium-intensity and/or flashing lights, 420–719 m
BALS	Any other approach lighting system (e.g. HIALS, MALS or ALS 210–419 m) FAA: ODALS, high- or medium-intensity or flashing lights 210–419 m
NALS	Any other approach lighting system (e.g. HIALS, MALS or ALS <210 m) or no approach lights
