As noted:
(f) Landing Deck Lights: These lights are installed at the flight deck level to outline the flight deck for landing and take-off.
The two forward lights on the starboard side and the two forward lights on the port side are red, all other lights are white.
(1) The white lights have a maximum range of 1800 yards, and a vertical light spread of 14.5� with the lower light cutoff parallel to the top of the flight deck. The angle of azimuth is l60�.
(2) The red lights have a maximum range of 400 yards and a vertical light spread of 30� with the lower light cutoff parallel to the top of the flight deck. The angle of azimuth is 104�
(3) The starboard row of white lights and the aftermost port white light have a horizontal light distribution from 130� to 290� relative. All other white landing deck lights on the port side have a horizontal light distribution from 100� to 260� relative.
(4) The starboard red lights have a horizontal light distribution from 156� to 260� relative. The port red lights have a horizontal light distribution from 100� to 204� relative.
(5) The landing deck lights are installed and mounted so that the rows of lights will be as nearly as possible in straight lines, parallel to the ship's centerline, as is
compatible with the contour of the flight deck. Red lights may be designated for the white lights in which case all red lights except the two forward lights on each the starboard and port bow, would have the same characteristics and be installed the same as the white landing deck lights.
