Components of Heliport Lighting Systems

 Components of Heliport Lighting Systems


A comprehensive heliport lighting system typically consists of various components, each serving a specific purpose:
Perimeter Lights: These lights mark the edges of the heliport, providing a visual reference for pilots to gauge the landing area's boundaries.
Approach Path Indicator (API) Lights: API lights, such as PAPI or VASI systems, guide pilots in maintaining the correct glide path during approach, ensuring a safe descent angle.
Touchdown and Lift-off Area (TLOF) Lights: Positioned within the designated landing and takeoff area, TLOF lights help pilots accurately position the helicopter during critical maneuvers.
Wind Direction Indicator: While not strictly part of the lighting system, windsocks or wind cones are essential for indicating wind direction and strength, crucial information for pilots during landing and takeoff.
Heliport beacons: helipad beacons or rotating beacons, serve as prominent visual aids for pilots, guiding them to heliport facilities
Heliport floodlights : providing ample illumination of landing and maneuvering areas ,Floodlights illuminate the heliport's touchdown and lift-off area (TLOF), enhancing visibility for pilots during critical maneuvers

ICAO Compliance: LED Heliport Approach Path Indicators (CHAPI Light) & LED Airport Precision Approach Path Indicators ( PAPI Light) ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) sets essential safety standards for aviation lighting, including for Heliport Approach Path Indicators (Green/Red/White CHAPI Lights) and Precision Approach Path Indicators (Red/White PAPI Lights). These systems help pilots maintain the correct glide path during approach and landing, improving safety and reducing risk.

Installation & Commissioning of Medium-Intensity Obstruction Lighting System for Transmission Lines Medium-Intensity Type A obstruction lights are white flashing lights used for marking tall structures like transmission towers, especially in areas near flight paths. They emit a light intensity of 2000–20000 candela (cd) and are designed for visibility during day and night.
