I am trying to find the manual that lays down the exact lighting colours and dimensions between them for UK Airfield runways. I know what they should be but need written proof for a project I have been given.
I have looked in PAN_OPS. Would they be in the AIP?
Would appreciate some help very quickly. Thanks

Off the top of my head, I think it's CAP168, but I could be wrong. I suggest a seach in the Publications section of the CAA website.

Cap 637 - Visual Aids Handbook is a good document that shows clearly what they should look like colour wise there are some measurements too but might not be the details you are after. May be of some help though.

Visual aids handbook (http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/CAP637.PDF)

The visual aids handbook is useful, but is only a handbook. The definitive document is the CAP168:Licensing of Aerodromes. You can find it here: http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/CAP168.PDF. You need chapter 6.
