AGI - Helideck Leading Light
Wednesday 26th January 2011
AGI were called upon by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to develop a new Helideck Lighting 'proof of concept' System to improve the safety of flights to offshore oil & gas platforms. Working with our partners on this project (Orga B.V), an improved system has been developed to improve pilot visual cueing in what is a very demanding environment. Utilising advanced high intensity; coloured LED technology the latest suite of Helideck Lighting is able to 'stand out' from the mass of ambient lights that are usually present on oil & gas platforms. Pilots involved in the initial assessments conducted by the CAA endorsed the system, declaring it to provide a significant improvement to flight safety.
Full production of the improved Helideck Lighting System commences very soon.
