Touchdown Zone Light – High-Intensity Runway Lighting by Jetsys Defence
For airfields requiring dependable precision lighting, Jetsys Defence offers advanced Touchdown Zone Light (TDZL) systems engineered to enhance landing accuracy under all visibility conditions. As a trusted manufacturer of runway spares, we provide robust illumination solutions that perform flawlessly in fog, rain, night operations, and adverse weather.
What Is a Touchdown Zone Light?
A Touchdown Zone Light is an in-runway lighting system used on precision approach runways. These lights guide pilots during the final seconds of landing, ensuring they touch down at the safest point on the runway for maximum braking efficiency and rollout control.
How Touchdown Zone Lights Improve Landing Safety
- Installed in the first 3,000 feet (900 m) beyond the runway threshold
- Arranged symmetrically in bars across the centerline of the runway
- Steady-burning, high-intensity white lights for maximum visual guidance
- Critical for low visibility, wet runway operations, and CAT I, II & III ILS approaches
Jetsys Defence TDZ Lighting provides consistent illumination, reliable service life, and high optical clarity — even in demanding landing environments.
Applications of Touchdown Zone Light Systems
Guiding Pilots During Landing
Provides visual cues to help pilots identify the correct touchdown area during approach, flare, and landing—especially in night or low-visibility conditions.Enhancing Safety on Precision Runways
Used on CAT-I, CAT-II and CAT-III instrument runways to support safe landings in fog, rain, snow, and reduced-visibility environments.Runway Centreline Alignment
Helps pilots maintain perfect centreline alignment during the final descent, reducing veer-off risks.Supporting High-Traffic Airports
Critical for commercial airports and military airbases requiring maximum landing accuracy during continuous operations.Improving Pilot Depth Perception
Sequenced white lights give pilots a distance reference for smoother touchdown, deceleration, and rollout.
Military & Tactical Runways
Used at defence airfields for fighters, transports, UAVs, and training fleets under strict safety norms.Pilot Training & Simulation Support
Marks the safe landing zone clearly for trainee pilots, improving training quality and reducing landing errors.Upgrading Existing Runway Lighting Systems
Installed during runway modernization to meet ICAO, FAA, and DGCA compliance standards.Low-Profile Installations on Rigid Pavements
Integrates with shallow or deep bases in concrete runways where deep excavation isn’t possible.
