situation, the F/A-18 pilot must rely solely on his/her instrument readings and experience to land the aircraft safely. F-14 and most of the earlier assigned aircraft have or had a crew of at least two. IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED: The safety of flight operations and maneuvers is compromised by the lack of centerline approach lighting on Runway 32L. NAS Oceana is located in a rapidly expanding residential, commercial and resort area of Virginia Beach. Interstate highways coupled with ever increasing commercial lighting make standard airfield lighting a necessity at this master jet base, particularly under restricted visibility and other adverse weather conditions. This lighting is a safety requirement, and, if not provided, the danger to personnel, aircraft and the surrounding community will continue to remain at a higher probability than necessary with the proper lighting. If approach lighting is not installed on Runway 32L and aircraft divert to Runway 05R when weather conditions permit, then Runway 05R will be used more often; thus increasing maintenance and repair costs and downtime to perform repairs for Runway 05R, a primary runway for the airfield. 12.
