Take-off guidance is provided by runway centre line lighting and marking. Once over the system, alignment guidance is excellent and operations can be safely executed in quite low visual ranges. The coded centre line for the final 900 m is most valuable in the event of aborted take-off, since the cues enable the pilot to use judgement in resorting to emergency braking procedures to stop within the confines of the runway. 1, record 2, English, - coded%20centre%20line

Le guidage au décollage est assuré par les feux et marques d'axe de piste. Une fois que l'avion se trouve au-dessus du dispositif, le guidage d'alignement est excellent et les décollages peuvent être effectués en sécurité avec des portées visuelles très courtes. L'axe de piste codé sur les 900 derniers mètres est des plus utiles en cas de décollage interrompu, étant donné que les repères permettent au pilote de décider s'il doit recourir aux procédures de freinage d'urgence pour s'arrêter avant l'extrémité de piste. 1, record 2, French, - axe%20de%20piste%20cod%C3%A9
