Important Information On Choosing Lights For Heliport

By Arthur Brooks


Security had been an issue in the transport sector before the advancement of technology. This is because the airport had no well-established lights for pilots to identify a safe place to land on. With the installation of lights for heliport, the rate of accident occurrence has reduced and people can land in the airports safely during night hours.

They are easy to install. With solar lights, there is not a lot of trenching during installation. Furthermore, it cannot be easily interrupted by any operations of the airfield. During installation also, it does not need any special attention or specialist. People who have an already established helipad enjoy this more.

Another reason why installation of solar lights is important in the airports is that its initial cost of installation is low. This means that even an individual person can establish his own airports. The cost of maintaining it is also low. Ac lights are the most preferred lamps since the cost per unit is lower when compared with traditional lamps.

Most times, electricity has not been reliable to the society, this because, it can be affected by weather changes like heavy rains and a shortage of water which is known to generate it. Lack of electricity also makes it difficult for installation of an AC helipad. For this reason, solar lamps are more reliable. It has allowed installation of airfield lights in local areas.

Airstrip owners would want to save on costs. To do this better, this they should install more energy-saving equipment in the airstrips. Most preferably is the installation of the solar system since they only produce a lot of light with less heat.

Though installation of the lighting system in airstrip should be permanent, circumstances might force it to be moved to other places. Therefore, some factors have to be considered before purchasing the lighting equipment. Some include the weight which should be light and the portability. The lifespan should also be factored in.Special factors like the military sections have benefited from solar helipad. They can easily install them in suitable places that can enable them to spot their enemies easily.

The design of the airfield also matters a lot . This determines the efficiency of airplane landing. Structures like the windsocks, taxi routes, airfield identification beacons, and the landing lamps should be placed in a strategic position to allow easy landing by the pilots. Windsocks should also be light to allow it to rotate easily. This will also enable them to identify the wind direction easily. It will also make the operations in the airfield easy and more effective. It is advisable to make the lamps bean as bright lights might cause reflections to the eyes of pilots causing them to make a poor judgment on their eyes hence causing plane crushing and finally fatal accidents.

There are different types of heliports. One of them is private. This is also known as prior permission required (PPR). This is owned for personal use. This means that if you want to land on it, you must seek permission. Another type is general aviation. In this the type, the field is open to the general public. Being located on public land does not mean it is only owned by the public. It can also be a combination of both the private and public. To determine whether it is general aviation or private, you must know who funded it. Funders include Federal Aviation Administration(FAA), Airport Improvement Program (AIP).
