SDS

Designed in compliance with FAA 150/5345-44, STANAG distance signs, model SDS, are intended for military, or combined civil-military airfields, and provide to the pilot, either by day or night, the following different indications: the runway distance remaining from the runway end in thousands of feet; the position of the pendant cables for arrester hook engagement; the position where the pendent cables must be used to stop in case of failed take-off. Colors may be white or yellow on black background, depending on the application as defined by STANAG.
