Narrative:

Clt airport: the taxi lighting on the east side of taxiway east; between taxiways E14 and V4; has a large gap of three taxiway edge lights missing. At night; this gap is very misleading; and it almost appears as if were an opening to the main apron. The airport authority should string a row of the missing blue edge lights as soon as possible; to enhance safety.
