The Runway End Identifier Light is used to indicate to a pilot the positive position of a runway threshold under VFR and non-precision IFR conditions. The REIL contains a master and slave strobe power supply on each side of the threshold. These strobe flash at a rate of approximately twice per second simultaneously. Visual aids required with the use of the REIL include high intensity runway edge lights, runway threshold lights or displaced threshold lights, and runway markings. The PAPI system may also be an associated with a REIL. This system should never be used in conjunction with Pulsed Light Approach Slope Indictors (PLASI) system.
A REIL system consists of synchronized flashing lights placed symmetrically about the runway centerline in the vicinity of the runway threshold. The optimum location is 12 meters (40 feet) from the runway edge and in line with the threshold lights. The lights may be located laterally up to 22.5 meters (75 feet) from the runway edge and longitudinally up to 12 meters (40 feet) downwind (away from the runway) from the threshold lights to 27 meters (90 feet) upwind. The location of both lights should be as equal as possible to maintain the symmetry of the installation. The difference in locations should not be more than 3 meters (10 feet) laterally or longitudinally. The elevation of both lights should be within 3 meters (10 feet) of the runway centerline at the threshold. A 27-meter (90 foot) upwind and a 12 meter (40 foot) downwind longitudinal tolerance is permitted from the runway threshold in locating the light units. See FAA AC 150/5340-14 for additional information.
