Lighting:

Runway Lighting:

• High Intensity colour coded centre line lights at 15 metre intervals.
• Bi-directional edge lights at 15 metre intervals..
• Touchdown zone lights consisting of bars of 4 white lights. The bars are spaced at 77 metre intervals longitudinally and cover the first 915 metres of runway 27. (No touchdown zone lights on runway 09)
• High Intensity green elevated wingbar threshold lights on both runways.
• High Intensity red end bar lights across the whole width at the upwind end of all runways

PAPIs are installed on all runways and consist of 4 units on the left providing guidance in maintaining the required 3 degree approach angle.

Approach Lighting:

• 914 metre high white High intensity coded centre line with 5 crossbars.
• last 300 metres of approach lighting includes Supplementary Approach lights (SALS) consisting of 9 barrettes of 4 white lights dispersed about the centre line, and the same number of 4 red light barrettes either side. (Runway 27 only).

Noise:

The airport is surrounded by many built up areas. Various procedures have been designed to minimise disturbance to the local communities.

Preferential Selection of Runway

Liverpool operates a preferential runway scheme, whereby the Westerly runway (27) will be used for take-off and landing in preference to the Easterly runway (09), unless wind, or other factors dictate. Generally, it is to be said that:

"Runway 27 will normally be used in preference to 09 when the tailwind component is no greater than 5kts and the surface is dry"

The choice of runway configuration will be the decision of ADC.

The runway configuration should, as often as possible, be the same as Manchester. If Manchester and Liverpool have to use opposing runways, then there are specific procedures that have to be implemented. These are discussed in the Approach procedures.
