Expert guides, product comparisons, and FAA & ICAO compliance tips on airfield, runway, and obstruction lighting from the Hali-Brite team..
The future of Urban Air Mobility is getting closer to reality, and with it comes the need for reliable infrastructure to support electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. On December 27, 2024, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) released...
Airports are under increasing pressure to cut operating expenses and reduce their carbon footprint. Between soaring electricity prices, costly trenching for underground wiring, and increasing demands for sustainability, many airport operators are looking for smarter...
Airport operations often face unexpected changes, including maintenance, infrastructure repairs, construction zones, and even temporary airshows or private events. In these cases, you might need reliable, high-quality equipment, but only for a limited time. But buying...
When you're on final approach in low visibility or navigating unfamiliar skies at night, the steady blink of an airport beacon is often the first sign that you're headed to the right place. These rotating airport beacon lights help pilots identify the location of an...
Airfield lighting ensures safe takeoffs, landings, and taxi operations, especially during nighttime or low-visibility conditions. Pilots rely on these systems to maintain situational awareness, and any disruption in performance can spell delays, cancellations, or...
Airport lighting systems have come a long way since the earliest days of aviation. In the early 20th century, airstrips relied on improvised methods to guide pilots during nighttime operations. These initial efforts laid the groundwork for the sophisticated airport...
Wind cones, or windsocks, are indispensable tools in aviation, providing real-time information about wind direction and speed. When you're operating an aircraft, whether it's taking off, landing, or maneuvering on the ground, knowing which way the wind is blowing is...
In recent years, the aviation landscape has welcomed a major game-changer: electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Unlike traditional airplanes and helicopters, these cutting-edge machines promise a new era of flight that is more efficient, quieter,...
A segmented circle is a visual aid used at non-towered airports to help pilots understand the traffic patterns from above. Since non-towered airports don't have air traffic controllers guiding flight operations, the segmented circle provides essential information...
Safe and efficient air travel relies heavily on a well-coordinated network of infrastructure and technologies. Among these, airport lighting ensures the safety and visibility of aircraft, especially during nighttime operations and low-visibility conditions. Why...
