[CelticWarrior]

I'm not sure I can tel you which ones to use, approach charts should helpt with that. I can help with what some of them mean;

TDZL = Touch Down Zone Lighting
CL = Centreline Lighting
HIRL = High Intensity Runway Lighting
PAPI = Precision Approach Path Indicator

SF and A1, no idea.

Hope that helps
