ABSTRACT:
A marker system comprising a marker light and a marker; the marker light including a base plate having a plurality of bolt holes and a plurality of mounting bolts having threaded shanks extending through the bolt holes for securing the base plate to a support surface including threaded holes for receiving the threaded shanks of the mounting bolts; and a marker including a resiliently flexible marker rod having a height greater than the marker light and an attachment fitting at the lower end of the marker rod. The attachment fitting has a lower threaded shank portion for extending through one of the bolt holes in the base plate normally occupied by one of the mounting bolts, an intermediate head portion, and an upper portion to which the marker rod is attached. The marker is substituted for one of the mounting bolts and in effect forms a readily observable vertical extension of the marker light, while being flexible and bendable to accommodate, without damage, inadvertent contact, for example, with the wing of a taxying aircraft. The marker further assists in identifying the edge of a taxiway or runway, or for that matter any other way, when the marker lights have become hidden from view such as by a heavy accumulation of snow.
