Automated aerodrome lighting control system
First Claim
1. An automated aerodrome lighting control system, comprising:
- a communication radio configured to selectively transmit radio frequency (RF) signals;
an aerodrome lighting data source configured to at least selectively supply aerodrome lighting data representative of light control characteristics of aerodrome lighting associated with individual aerodromes;
a processor in operable communication with the aerodrome lighting data source and the communication radio, the processor configured to;
selectively retrieve, from the aerodrome lighting data source, aerodrome lighting data associated with an individual aerodrome, andselectively command the communication radio to transmit RF signals consistent with the light control characteristics associated with the individual aerodrome.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for automated control of aerodrome lighting. An exemplary system includes a communication radio, an aerodrome lighting data source, and a processor. The communication radio is configured to selectively transmit radio frequency (RF) signals. The aerodrome lighting data source is configured to at least selectively supply aerodrome lighting data representative of light control characteristics of aerodrome lighting associated with individual aerodromes. The processor is in operable communication with the aerodrome lighting data source and the communication radio, and is configured to selectively retrieve, from the aerodrome lighting data source, aerodrome lighting data associated with an individual aerodrome, and selectively command the communication radio to transmit RF signals consistent with the light control characteristics associated with the individual aerodrome.
