Design Proposal of Landing and Lighting Systems for Svidnik Airport

The aim of this paper is to design landing and lighting systems for Svidnik Airport based on an analysis of current approach procedures, the technical equipment used at airports, and the geographical, topographical, and technical characteristics of the airport and its surroundings. The analysis of Svidnik Airport is carried out using UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) technology and maps from the Geodetic Survey of the Slovak Republic. The airport’s topography and geographical location are assessed. In the practical section, a landing system is proposed, along with an evaluation of the selected approach procedure’s applicability and the system’s usability. Additionally, the airport’s runway and taxiway lighting systems, a simple approach lighting system, and the PAPI (Precision Approach Path Indicator) system are proposed. The design of the lighting systems results in simple sketches that meet regulatory requirements and are applicable to Svidnik Airport.
