.............

Surface resolution. 

Not greater than two (2) arc 

minutes. 

N/A

.........................................

An SOC is required and must 

include the appropriate cal-

culations and an expla-

nation of those calcula-

tions. Level B requires sur-

face resolution not greater 

than three (3) arc minutes. 

When the eye is positioned 

on a 3

° 

glide slope at the 

slant range distances indi-

cated with white runway 

markings on a black run-

way surface, the eye will 

subtend two (2) arc min-

utes: (1) A slant range of 

6,876 ft with stripes 150 ft 

long and 16 ft wide, 

spaced 4 ft apart. (2) For 

Configuration A, a slant 

range of 5,157 feet with 

stripes 150 ft long and 12 ft 

wide, spaced 3 ft apart. (3) 

For Configuration B, a slant 

range of 9,884 feet, with 

stripes 150 ft long and 5.75 

ft wide, spaced 5.75 ft 

apart.

Light point size

An SOC is required and must

culations and an expla-

nation of those calcula-

tions. 

Light point size may be 

measured using a test pat-

tern consisting of a cen-

trally located single row of 

light points reduced in 

length until modulation is 

just discernible in each vis-

ual channel. A row of 48 

lights will form a 4

° 

angle 

or less.

.............

Light point contrast ratio. 

A 1

° 

spot photometer may be 

used to measure a square 

of at least 1

° 

filled with light 

points (where light point 

modulation is just discern-

ible) and compare the re-

sults to the measured adja-

cent background. During 

contrast ratio testing, simu-

lator aft-cab and flight deck 

ambient light levels should 

be zero.
