Those above are JAA factors and can also be found on JAR OPS 1 Subpart E, or 600 pages (extractions from Subpart E as AOM) of Jeppesen ATC pages.

"HI App & Lndg lights available" is what it says you need. If you have HI Lndg lights, then that is an extra. What it says on the box is all that matters!
