Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides a device for making a runway section, a runway arrangement and a method of constructing and operating the runway arrangement. The runway arrangement provides for safe operation in guiding a landing aircraft. The runway arrangement comprises a first runway section (502-1) and a second runway section (502-2) whereby the second runway section (502-2) overlaps with the first runway section (502-1) that provides for a sterile safety area. The second runway section (502-2) comprises runway marking devices having a light source (10-1, 10-2) and a light director (15) for each runway light source. The light director is arranged to inhibit light directed towards an aircraft landing on the first (502-1) or second runway section (502-2). The invention further provides a method for providing a runway arrangement comprising the first runway section (502-1) and the second runway section (502-2) and for operating the runway arrangement for guiding a landing aircraft.
