A runway light control including a relay switch for connecting to a common conductor and a push-to-talk conductor of the aircraft communications system. The control includes a microcontroller connected to the relay switch and an intensity selector assembly connected to the microcontroller. The selector assembly has first, second, and third intensity selectors. The microcontroller is programmed to intermittently close the relay switch a first preselected number of times when the first intensity selector is actuated to signal the automated variable intensity runway light control station to select a first runway light intensity at the airport. The microcontroller is programmed to close the relay switch a second number of times when the second selector is actuated to select a second runway light intensity. The microcontroller is programmed to close the relay switch a third number of times when the third selector is actuated to select a third runway light intensity.
