Scope

GB/T 7256.5-2023 is the English-translated version of 民用机场助航灯具 第5部分:航空灯标.

GB/T 7256.5-2023 sets the requirements for the aeronautical beacons that mark an airport's position for aircraft.

It gives the classification and the technical requirements and describes the test methods, covering environmental requirements, photometric and colorimetric requirements, design requirements, electromagnetic compatibility and marking, with tests for flash colour, flash frequency and duration, light intensity and elevation angle, flashing mode, input voltage, light-source life, transparent materials, the drive motor, vertical adjustment, the interlock switch, installation, surface colour, surge, and conducted and radiated electromagnetic disturbance.

Six models are listed, covering medium-, high- and low-intensity airport beacons and the matching seaplane base beacons, and two categories are set by operating temperature range.

Clause 1 states that it does not apply to heliport beacons. Issued on 28 December 2023, it has applied since 1 July 2024.

Foreword

This document complies with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Standardization Work Guidelines Part 1: Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents" Drafting.

This document is Part 5 of GB/T 7256 "Civil Airport Navigation Aids Lamps". GB/T 7256 has released the following parts.

---Part 1. General requirements;

---Part 2. Sequential flashing lights and runway threshold identification lights;

---Part 3. Precision approach course indicator;

---Part 4. Wind Vane;

---Part 5. Aviation beacons.

Introduction

GB/T 7256 "Civil Airport Navigation Aids Lamps" is planned to consist of five parts.

---Part 1. General requirements. It mainly stipulates that tungsten lamps and LEDs are used as light sources in civil airports, and the power supply voltage does not exceed General requirements for 1000V navigation aid lamps. Suitable for providing light guidance signals for aircraft taxiing, takeoff or approach and landing.

Navigation lights. The main products covered are approach lights, runway threshold identification lights, runway threshold wing bar lights, runway threshold lights, and runway end lights.

Lights, touchdown zone lights, runway center line lights, runway edge lights, taxiway center line lights, taxiway edge lights, stop lights, runway warning lights, etc.

---Part 2. Sequential flashing lights and runway threshold identification lights. Mainly stipulates the requirements for use in civil airports to provide aircraft with clear Requirements for runway approach directional guidance sequence flashing lights and runway threshold identification lights.

---Part 3. Precision approach course indicator. It mainly stipulates the purpose of use in civil airports to provide pilots preparing to land with Requirements for precision approach path indicators depending on precision approach path indication. The main products covered are precision approach course indicators (PAPI) and Simplified Precision Approach Path Indicator (APAPI).

---Part 4. Wind Vane. Mainly stipulates the requirements for wind vanes used in civil airports.

---Part 5. Aviation beacons. Mainly stipulates the equipment used in civil airports to indicate the location of the airport to aircraft (aircraft). requirements for aviation beacons. The main products covered include medium-intensity airport beacons, medium-intensity seaplane base beacons, high-intensity beacons Airport beacons, high-intensity seaplane base beacons, low-intensity airport beacons, low-intensity seaplane base beacons, etc. Civil airport navigation aids Part 5. Aviation beacons
