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.
