Series 150 Advisory Circulars (ACs) for Airport Projects

Contains the FAA standards for retroreflective markers for airport runways and taxiways. See also Errata Sheet below.

Date Cancelled: 09-26-2011

Contains the FAA standards for power and control units for Land and Hold Short Lighting Systems.

Date Cancelled: 09-30-2009

Specifies the minimum requirements for an Airport Lighting Control and Monitoring System (ALCMS). The ALCMS simplifies the control and monitoring of lighted visual aids and enhances airport safety. The basic function of the system remains the same whether for a general aviation airport that supports only a few operations in a day or a large commercial airport that caters to hundreds of operations on any given day.

Effective six months after the issue date of the AC, only that equipment qualified in accordance with this specification will be listed in accordance with AC 150/5345-53, Airport Lighting Equipment Certification Program. Airports that have previously installed an Airport Lighting Control and Monitoring System (ALCMS) will not be required to install a new system after the effective date of the AC.

Contains the Federal Aviation Administration standards for the siting and installation of signs on airport runways and taxiways. Incorporates mandatory hold signs that reflect changed standards for the Precision Obstacle Free Zone (POFZ) and Category (CAT II/III) operations. Includes sign standards to assist airport operators in designating (1) the POFZ holding position in those instances where a taxiway, holding apron, or other movement area would result in an aircraft fuselage or tail penetrating, and (2) the alternative holding position on a taxiway during CAT II/III operations necessary to maintain adequate aircraft separation.
