Heliport lighting is used to make landing and taking off from helipads safer through greater visibility and enhanced information for pilots. This includes windsocks for wind direction and speed, helipad beacons for identifying the pad and perimeter lights for touchdown and lift-off.

These should usually be colored green for take-off and landing. * Floodlights - Used to provide uniform surface lighting where the TLOF and FATO lights need to be supplemented with floodlighting. * Wind Cone - An internally lit L-806 or L-807 helicopter windsock for nighttime flights, provides a visual indication of wind direction and velocity. * Approach lights - Indicate the preferred direction of approach in the area around the helipad. * Obstruction lights - These should be used to mark any potential obstacles around the helipad. * Aiming point lights - Should fo...
