Military Airfield and Approach Lighting is a concentrated four and one half day short course consisting of hands on classroom and field** training. Course content emphasizes the inter–relationships of maintenance, design and installation.  How good maintenance and records should affect the best design and how good maintenance is impossible without proper design and installation.  It is a must for those who design, inspect, install, maintain and manage Military Airfield and Approach Lighting Systems.  The Course is Internationally Recognized for it’s content.

Airfield and Approach Lighting is presented from a “Pilot’s Point Of View”, taught by a pilot who specializes in Photometrics – what a pilot actually sees,  Military and FAA requirements, and new technology to assure initial and ongoing compliance with Military and FAA photometric requirements.
