Decommissioning of Airport Solar Lighting Fixture Array

An FAA and contractor team decommissioned a solar lighting fixture array at Casa Grande Municipal Airport (CGZ), one of four airports participating in a long-term FAA research effort on solar airfield lighting performance. Data collected on luminance duration, battery discharge, solar charging, and battery longevity is being used to develop an Office of Airports Engineering Brief on airport solar lighting.
