Taxiway & Apron

For aprons and taxiways, there are rules and regulations that determine what type of lighting may be used, how it should be used and when it should be used. Lights on the taxiway and apron are of much lower intensity than on a runway because they only need to be clearly visible when the pilot is on the ground.
