This paper deals with the facilities for landlall that can be provided by lighted aids to navigation. The relationship between the navigational errors of ships approaching from the open sea and the performance to be selected for a landfall light is worked out. The probabilities of a successful landfall in various circumstances are then analysed. Finally the limitations of light as the sole aid to navigation in the process of making a landfall are discussed. Rear Admiral van Hooff was for long head of the Netherlands Pilotage and Lighthouse Service; Ir. Sirks is technical director of the Netherlands Lighthouse Service.
