Now that LED has become the number one choice for airfield lighting, all applications are currently available in the ‘FX’ range of fixtures. These LED lighting solutions, offer a more energy efficient and reliable solution for airfield applications while requiring minimal maintenance to ensure the products meets the specific standards.
Tungsten halogen lighting for runway and taxiways are still in use at many airfields and despite LED being the prime choice, halogen fixtures continue to be manufactured and installed. Halogen fixtures are available for all applications and dependant on location the fixtures can be supplied with different options, such as type of beam, colour, and direction of light output.
Airfield control systems allow for the monitoring and controlling of many different equipments employed across the airfield including, Constant Current Regulators (CCRs), circuit selector switches, generators, and this can also be extended to individual lamps. Individually configured to meet the airports requirements the system can be either a basic ‘On/Off’ solutions or expanded to switch individual lamps, providing routing for aircraft, directing them the safest and quickest way around the airfield resulting in an increased efficiency for aircraft movement.
There is a need to have clear guidance signage to supplement the instructions provided to pilots and users of the taxiway systems; there is no substitute for a final visual confirmation of a clearly visible sign. Airfield signs offer a clear indication as to the location, direction and name of taxiway routes. Other signage can provide additional visual information to pilots such as ‘Take-Off Runway distance Available’ and ILS region.
ATG Airports supply a variety of airfield signage including:
- Taxiway information Guidance Signs
- Taxiway Mandatory Signs
- RHAG Markers
- Runway Distance Markers
- Stand Number Indicator Boards
Our airfield signage complies with international regulations, and we can work with you to ensure that you only install products that meet your country’s specifications.
All mandatory signs are red, while information signs are yellow with black lettering. Again, we can ensure that you receive industry standard products, which you can install across your airfield with confidence.
We also offer an Airfield Guidance Signs Configuration tool where you can draw your own sign requirement making it easier communicating your requirements. This tool is available through this website.
