Hello everybody,

Having recently visited an International Airport, I have got one more
question ;-)
Probably you can help me clarify something regarding the CAT II/III
marking strips. When there are unfavourable weather conditions like
fog, leading to a Category III landing approach, I guess those strips
are rendered nearly invisible!?
Is the respective CAT - marking strip possibly illuminated?
Are those markings just an indicator showing that nobody is allowed to
cross the respective strip on the taxiway while the landing manoeuvre
is being carried out?

To put it in a nutshell: What exactly do those strips indicate and how
do you know which one is currently active?

Thanks in advance for your help,
John




CAT 3 landings are made by suitably equipped aircraft at suitably
equipped airfileds. The requirement is for continued guidance after
touchdown, not out the window....
