Rwy Centerline light spacing??
Hi,
Does anyone know where the spacing of runway centerline lights and runway edge lights is written on Jeppesen (or anywhere else) for charts in the U.S.? Is it a certain number by default so not printed? What if it's non standard?
For example, centerline light spacing is printed in the take-off minimum box of charts in Europe (ie - 15m spacing).
All of this relates to low visibility procedures (taxi, CAT III approaches etc)
Any help? Thanks!

Out of the AIM 2.1.5
a. Runway Centerline Lighting System (RCLS). Runway centerline lights are installed on some precision approach runways to facilitate landing under adverse visibility conditions. They are located along the runway centerline and are spaced at 50-foot intervals. When viewed from the landing threshold, the runway centerline lights are white until the last 3,000 feet of the runway. The white lights begin to alternate with red for the next 2,000 feet, and for the last 1,000 feet of the runway, all centerline lights are red.
