Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A dynamic runway illumination system, including a light source having an addressable light beam direction, and a control unit configured to receive aircraft attitude information and the orientation of the runway selected for takeoff or landing, obtain horizontal and vertical axes, the horizontal axis being collinear with the takeoff or landing longitudinal direction, determine the actual and the reference aircraft trajectories, obtain the actual and the reference vertical approach angles, and the actual horizontal approach angle, and actuate onto the light source to perform an angular movement in the light beam direction of an absolute value of the actual vertical approach angle minus the absolute value of the reference vertical approach angle about the vertical axis, and an angular movement of an absolute value of the actual horizontal approach angle about the horizontal axis, to vertically and horizontally align the beam of the light source towards the runway direction.
