1. An apparatus for use with an aircraft radar system having a radar antenna, the apparatus comprising: a runway database configured to store a reference pattern for runway lights; andprocessing electronics configured to receive radar data associated with signals associated with the radar antenna and to detect periodic data in the radar data, the periodic data being associated with a potential indication of returns from the runway lights in the radar data, wherein the periodic data is compared to the reference pattern to confirm locations of the runway lights. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the apparatus and processing electronics utilize beam sharpening to provide an improved angular resolution of the radar data. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the radar antenna is a weather radar antenna and the radar data is from a weather radar system. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a display configured to provide an image, the image including a representation of the runway lights detected by the processing electronics. 5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the image is conformally provided onto a combiner of a head up display system. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the runway lights comprise runway edge lights, runway centerline lights, touch down zone lights, runway end identification lights, or approach lighting system lights. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processing electronics comprises a filter for filtering the radar data to detect the periodic patterns. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the filter is a Fourier transform filter. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the runway lights are approach lighting system lights spaced at a distance of 200 feet or 100 feet. 10. A method of using radar return data from a radar system on an aircraft, the method comprising: receiving the radar return data from the radar system;identifying a spatial pattern associated with a set of the runway lights in the radar return data;comparing the spatial pattern associated with the set of the runway lights in the radar return data to a known spatial pattern for the set of the runway lights; andproviding image or symbolic data including a representation of the runway lights identified using the radar return data. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the known spatial pattern is derived from runway data in a terrain database. 12. The method of claim 11, further comprising: using correlation of the spatial pattern associated with the set of the runway lights in the radar return data to the known spatial pattern for the set of the runway lights to enable a lower minima approach. 13. The method of claim 12, further comprising: using the correlation to indicate an error. 14. The method of claim 13, further comprising: displaying of an image on an electronic display associated with the image data. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the electronic display is a head up display and the identifying step is performed in a head up display computer, a weather radar system, a synthetic vision system, or a display computer. 16. The method of claim 12, wherein the identifying uses a filter to identify the spatial pattern associated with the runway lights. 17. A method of using radar return data from a radar system on an aircraft, the method comprising: receiving the radar return data from the radar system;identifying a spatial pattern associated with a set of the runway lights in the radar return data; andproviding image or symbolic data including a representation of the runway lights identified using the radar return data; and using statistical regression or a Hough transform to reduce lateral uncertainty associated with lateral position of the runway lights. 18. An apparatus for use with a weather radar system, the apparatus comprising: means for receiving weather radar data; andmeans for identifying runway lights from the weather radar data, wherein statistical regression or a Hough transform is used to reduce lateral uncertainty of locations of the runway lights. 19. The apparatus of claim 18, wherein the weather radar data is generated using beam sharpening comprising a monopulse technique, a sub-aperture radar technique, deconvolution of a beam point spread function, or any combination thereof. 20. The apparatus of claim 18, further comprising a display, wherein the runway lights are represented as dashed lines on the display, wherein each of the dashes has a width associated with the lateral uncertainty.
