The horizontal plane through the focus of the optical apparatus of the light.


Note: In lighthouse practice in some countries the term "focal plane" is used with the above meaning, although this is quite a different meaning from that of 2-2-165.




Please note that this is the term as it stands in the original IALA Dictionary edition (1970-1989)
