2. Select a mounting location and determine distance "d" and mounting height "h" as shown in DETAIL "A.", round off distance "d" to the nearest 10 ft.

3. Refer to Figure 4 and determine the number of floodlights and type of lamps required.

Examples:

a) area: 30 x 45 = 1,350 ft2 d = 153 ft (round off to 150 ft) h = 23 ft

This mounting location falls in illumination area "b." since the calculated area is less than 3,200 ft2, two MFL and three NSP are required. At d = 150 ft, the permisible mouting heights for area "B" are 20 ft to 40 ft. If the mounting height can be raised to 40 ft or higher (up to 100 ft), only four MFL are required, since the mounting location will then fall into area "a."

b) area: 40 x 60 = 2,400 ft2 d = 116 ft (round off to 120 ft) h = any chosen height between 20 ft and 100 ft

The mounting location falls into area "a." since the calculated area is less than 3,600 ft2, four MFL are required.

c) area: 50 x 70 = 3,500 ft2 d = 252 ft (round off to 250 ft) h = any chosen height between 30 ft and 100 ft.

The line (step) on the graph at d = 250 ft excludes any mounting heights below 30 ft since the mountng position falls into area "b", and the calculated area is between 3,200 ft2 , and 5,800 ft2 , three MFL and three NSP are required.

1.3.9 DECK SURFACE FLOODLIGHTS: NVD blue deck surface floodlights shall be provided along the periphery of the flight/VERTREP deck outside of the peripheral marking.

The floodlights shall be used in conjunction with the overhead floodlights to provide uniform illumination of the aircraft launch and recovery/VERTREP area.
