A prototype runway hold-short lighting system was developed at the FAA Technical Center. The purpose of this lighting system is to provide identification to a pilot, while landing during intersecting runway landing and takeoff operations, of the point at which he must hold short when so instructed by Air Traffic Control. During an in-service evaluation at Boston Logan Airport, user airline pilots were asked to comment on the effectiveness of the hold-short lighting system. Results of the evaluation indicate that the hold-short lighting system provides a landing pilot with a positive indication of the point at which he must hold short during the rollout after landing.
