Can anybody help out with the following?

Have managed to nab an old copy, this is the SWISS version. So with that in mind can I ask:
The LDA on some of the airports has a G_ like this, what does it mean?

The lights info has HL/HL or -?HL etc, any ideas?

The alternate info has things like (N) and (F) and (H) next to the airports, again any ideas?

Thanks for helping out an inquisitive mind!

Lyka,

I have used this manuals for almost three years, albeit by that time they were published by swissair flight support.

I don't think they changed much after the new company emerged..

So, here we go:

G letter:
Were is this letter located? On the airport diagram? If the G is located over the runway drawing it means that the rwy is grooved.

Light info:
H -> high intensity
L -> low intensity
M -> medium intensity
HL -> high/low intensity

For APP Light, you can have some letter to identify the type of app light i.e. HL-A (high/low intensity - type A)
Then you have to refer to a code/decode table, it was this way:
Non-US standard
A - Icao standard CAT 2/3 (lights have "tree" format"
B - Icao standard CAT 2/3
C - Distance coded centre line (calvert)
D - Barrette centre line
E - Single row
F - Parallel row

US Standard
G - Icao standard CAT 2/3 (similar do letter B)
H - Barrette centre line
I - Single row
K - Single row (430m)
L - Single row (460m)

Alternate info...
Where have you seen this written on? Please confirm so I can check here

Cheers
