spaced ten feet apart. In addition, the sequence flashing lights of the approach lighting system do not operate as required. The sequence flashing lights should flash 120 flashed/minute but only flash approximately 80 flashes/minute. The runway edge lighting is not spaced every 200 feet as required. Also, the runway edge light fixtures and duct systems are old and in poor condition. The majority of the taxiway edge light fixtures are in need of upgrade. Centerline lighting is required on all taxiways. NAS Kingsville has only partial centerline lighting on taxiways Charlie and Bravo. In addition, the wheel-watch and wave-off lighting systems are in poor condition. The Optical Landing Signal stations have poor grounding on the power receptacles. Most control cables are losing their insulation and are in need of replacement. The entire system needs to be upgraded. IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED: Without adequate airfield lighting/controls, NASK will be unable to train at least 15% of the pilot training rate (PTR) each year. The deterioration of airfield lighting and controls will continue to accelerate, causing eventual shutdown of airfield during low visibility conditions. At that time, the activity will be unable to meet the required Pilot Training Rates. Without adequate and dependable airfield lighting, NAS will continue to operate in unsafe conditions that increase the risk to the student pilots due to insufficient lighting at low visibility conditions. Another safety hazard is the uneven/inconsistent spacing of the edge, centerline and threshold light fixtures. If the existing light fixture spacing is not corrected, pilots will continue to experience confusion from inconsistent spacing of critical airfield lighting systems. This situation is especially dangerous for student pilots. In addition to safety hazards, installation of an airfield conduit/ductbank for most underground power and control cables would minimize the maintenance costs to repair or replace direct buried cables. Without this project the airfield lighting systems will continue to degrade to substandard conditions. 12. Supplemental Data: A.
