Default Runway Lighting

What is that thing that the beginning of the active runway that has flashing
lights that flash sequentially toward the runway. I think it was about 4 or
5 lights. My instructor calls it a rabbit, but I can't find it anywhere in
the AIM. Whatever it is, is it listed in the AFD upon whether or not the
airport has it?

They're called sequenced flashing lights (SFL) and their in the AIM ch 2.

Mr. Barnes either can't read or doesn't know what he is
talking about and Mr. Turner can't spell.

This is a dangerous place for those who ask questions
and expect real answers.

I still wonders why pilots call that a "rabbit." It doesn't even look like
a rabbit.
