Type 1106 Flasher Modification for Remote Operation

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 1S presently planning to install an approach lighting system with sequenced flashing lights for category II (ALSF-2) on runway 22R at the McGhee-Tyson Airport, Knoxville, Tennessee. This project was
performed in response to an Airway Facilities Services request to determine the feasibility of modifying a flasher unit, FAA 1106, to power a remoted FA-9425/1 flasher optical head to be used there. The modification was completed, and the flash
tube photometrics met the required specifications.
