The lights are those big green ones on the sides of the threshold. As RENURPP suggested, not really high on the list of pilot 'to knows' but more an aerodrom requirement for visual circling. Along those lines, I think the radio failure procedures were written to accomodate non-straight-in approaches, ie, ones that necessitated circling as they were not aligned with a runway. I do understand now reading the Jepps extract where the confusion comes in. I would suggest a call to ATC to clear up what one should do in a two-way radio failure situation. Anyway, must be off. Cheers,

NFR.
