Waukesha County Airport installs runway lights for night flights
Airport manager Dale Crites announced the newly installed runway lights, costing 4000 dollars, will put Waukesha county airport among the few with reliable night landings. The system provides end-of-runway lighting and will be used to aid test landings and emergency situations. Flights under normal conditions will use standard lighting, while poor visibility will trigger enhanced illumination to guide pilots to a safe landing. The lights enable local student pilots to practice night operations without traveling to Milwaukee, serving as a public safety and training asset.
