Lighting

Runway Lighting

High Intensity bi-directional centre line lights at 15 metre intervals.
Bi-directional High Intensity white edge lights spaced 46 metres apart laterally and 25 metres apart longitudinally.
Touchdown zone lights consisting of bars of 4 white lights. The bars are spaced at 77 metre intervals longitudinally and cover the first 900 metres of the runway.
High Intensity green threshold lights stretching the whole width of the runway, with green wing bars
High Intensity red end bar lights across the whole width at the upwind end of the runway

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.

Preferential Selection of Runway

Stansted operates a preferential runway scheme, whereby the Westerly runway (22) will be used for take-off and landing in preference to the Easterly runway (04), unless wind, or other factors dictate. Generally, it is to be said that:

"Runway 22 will normally be used in preference to 04 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.

Night Noise Restrictions

Jet aircraft operating into and out of Stansted at night are subject to limits and operating restrictions:
- Between 2300 and 0600 local inbound aircraft are to be vectored onto a closing heading which will intercept the aircraft on the extended centreline no closer than 10nm from touchdown.
- Descent clearance below 3000ft is not to be given until the aircraft is 10nm from touchdown
