Helipad Lighting

Helipad lighting plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and efficiency of helicopter operations, especially during night flights or adverse weather conditions. Whether for hospitals, corporate buildings, offshore platforms, or private use, helipad lights are indispensable for guiding pilots to safe landings on helipads.

What Is Helipad Lighting?

Helipad lighting refers to the system of lights installed on and around a helipad to guide helicopters during landing and takeoff, particularly in low-visibility conditions. These lights serve as visual aids, helping pilots identify landing zones and avoid potential hazards.

These lights also improve operational efficiency, enabling airports to handle more flights, even during adverse weather.

Types of Helipad Lights:

·Perimeter Lights

  • LED Perimeter Lights: These lights outline the edges of the helipad, providing clear visual guidance for pilots. Their energy efficiency and durability make them a popular choice.
  • Flush-Mounted Perimeter Lights: These lights are embedded into the helipad surface, reducing the risk of damage from helicopter rotors or landing gear.

·Floodlights

  • Overhead Floodlights: Installed on poles or surrounding structures, these lights illuminate the entire helipad and its immediate vicinity, ensuring visibility from a distance.
  • Ground-Level Floodlights: Placed around the helipad, these lights enhance the clarity of surface markings and surrounding terrain.

·Obstruction Lights

  • Elevated Obstruction Lights: These lights mark potential hazards, such as nearby buildings, antennas, or tall structures, ensuring pilots avoid collisions.
  • Low-Profile Obstruction Lights: Used for objects close to the ground, these lights provide additional safety in confined or complex environments.

·Approach Lights

  • Sequential Flashing Lights: These create a clear path for helicopters during approach, especially in low-visibility conditions, by providing directional guidance.
  • Steady-Burning Approach Lights: These lights remain constant, offering a reliable visual reference for pilots as they prepare to land.

Regulatory Standards for Helipad Lighting

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) sets global standards for helipad lighting, emphasizing uniformity and safety. In addition, different countries may have additional requirements tailored to their aviation needs and environmental conditions. Regular audits ensure compliance with standards, maintaining operational safety and efficiency.
