Runway Status Lights (RWSL) are operational at 20 airports in the United States. This system is designed to enhance runway safety by providing automated, real-time alerts to pilots and ground vehicle operators about potential runway conflicts. Here is the complete list of U.S. airports equipped with RWSL:
Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI) Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD) Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport (FLL) George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) LaGuardia Airport (LGA) Las Vegas McCarran International Airport (LAS) Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) Orlando International Airport (MCO) Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) San Diego International Airport (SAN) San Francisco International Airport (SFO) Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD)
If both of those runways had RWSL then the jet taking off would have had a sequence of red centerline lights. The ATC controller has no direct control of that system.
not enough FedGov bucks because it’s named Reagan.
