Surface/Ground Level Heliport Lighting System

All of CDT's heliport lights use the latest LED technology as their light source. CDT lenses are low-powered, high intensity LEDs designed specifically for superior optical performance, are cost efficient and the most reliable lights on the market.

Surface-level heliports include all heliports located on ground level or on a structure on the surface of the water. Surface level heliports can consist of a single or several helipads. Surface level heliports are utilised by a wide range of industries including commercial, military and private operators.
ICAO and the FAA have defined rules for surface-level heliports.
Common lighting recommendations for ICAO and FAA surface-level heliports consist of:
  • Final Approach and Take Off (FATO) lights.
  • Touchdown and Lift-off area (TLOF) lights.
  • Flightpath alignment guidance lights to indicate available approach and/or departure path direction.
  • An illuminated wind direction indicator to indicate wind direction and speed.
  • Heliport beacon for identification of the heliport if required.
  • Floodlights around the TLOF if required.
  • Obstruction lights for marking obstacles in the vicinity of the approach and departure paths.
  • Taxiway lighting where applicable.
In addition, surface-level ICAO heliports must include:
  • Approach lights to indicate the preferred approach direction.
  • Aiming point lighting if the pilot is required to approach a particular point above the FATO before proceeding to the TLOF.
In addition, surface-level FAA heliports can include:
  • Landing direction lights may be required for directional guidance.

CDT offers a wide range of heliport and helipad lighting systems. From portable/temporary helipad lights, to complete packages, to NVG-friendly LED, and solar.

LED Internally Illuminated Windsock with Integrated Aviation Obstruction Light gives helicopter pilots a highly visible indication of wind speed and direction during landing and take-off in all weather and light conditions.

Heliport Acquisition Beacon, flashing an omnidirectional white Morse Code “H” (group of 4 flashes), for the identification of heliports in difficult surroundings or to provide long-range guidance to the heliport and assist landing.
