Comment :
Runway centerline lights are white at the beginning of the runway. As you slow down after landing and approach the end of the runway, these lights begin to change colour to help you judge how much runway is left:
White lights: From the start of the runway until 3,000 feet remaining.
Alternating red and white lights: From 3,000 feet to 1,000 feet remaining.
All red lights: In the last 1,000 feet of the runway.
So, the centerline lights become completely red when you have only 1,000 feet of runway remaining. This is a visual warning that you're nearing the end of the runway and should be entirely under control or preparing to exit.
This lighting helps improve situational awareness, especially at night or in low visibility. On VATSIM, it's good practice to be aware of this if you're simulating realistic airport operations, particularly at major airports with these lighting systems.
