Heliport Beacon for Heliport Lighting
The Heliport Beacon is a vital component of heliport lighting systems that enhances visibility and provides a clear visual reference to helicopter pilots. It is typically installed at the highest point of the heliport structure or a dedicated tower. The beacon emits a powerful light that can be seen from a considerable distance, even in low visibility conditions. The primary function of the heliport beacon is to mark the heliport's location and assist pilots in identifying it during both day and night operations. The beacon emits a distinctive light pattern, often colored white and/or green, to differentiate it from surrounding lights and landmarks. This helps pilots locate the heliport and align with the designated landing area. The heliport beacon operates continuously, providing a constant visual reference point for pilots. It enhances safety by ensuring pilots have a clear indication of the heliport's position and aids in maintaining situational awareness during approach and departure. The Heliport Beacon is a crucial component of heliport lighting systems, enabling safe and efficient helicopter operations.
Overview:
AO-HP-B1 heliport beacon is necessary visual guidance and identification of the heliport. The heliport beacon shall be located on or adjacent to the heliport preferably at an elevated position and so that it does not dazzle a pilot at short range. The helipad beacon flashes white color 4 times in 0.8s and stop for 1.2s, then start new circle for 2s (0.8s+1.2s ).
Compliance:
1. ICAO Annex 14 Volume II Heliports 5.3.
2. FAA AC 150/5390-2B Heliport Design Guide
Features:
