Approach Lighting Systems

[ask26]

I was wondering if there are any online sites that can display the different types of approach lighting available.

For example on WorldAeroData it states an approach lighting type 'BO'. After some research I think it is:
IACC Type BO (Centre Row Modified Calvert, Canada).

But what does that look like compared to say a UK Calvert (Type J) etc....

Cheers

CAP637 - Visual Aids Handbook (http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/CAP637.PDF) will give you all the info you need to know from a UK point of view.

Thanks for the links...however it doesn't quite answer the question I had.

Basically on World Aero Data it doesn't always state what runway has an ILS, only at either e.g 07/25 has one in use. Now the lighting system in use may give a clue (plates not available) due to what is available i.e. for one runway it stated BO. There are also the following (see below) and it would be nice to know just how they differ so I know exactly what I am looking at:

Look at the approach plates and Jepp 10-9 pages.
