CONT

Compte tenu de la tendance à la réduction des minima opérationnels, il est apparu utile de prévoir, en complément des feux latéraux que le pilote aperçoit mal à basse altitude, des feux encastrés dans la piste. La réalisation de ces encastrements est toujours difficile et onéreuse particulièrement pour les pistes en service (découpage des revêtements pour pose des feux encastrés et passage des câbles dans des fourreaux).

OBS

feu encastré : terme uniformisé par l'Organisation de l'aviation civile internationale (OACI).
