It’s crucial that hazards to aircrafts are reduced as much as possible. This can be achieved with Aircraft Warning Lights.
They are essential and specifically must be fixed on obstacles of 45m or less in height, width & length. It must be placed on the highest practical point for visibility.
When it comes to obstacles of a greater size, they require additional red lights. This is so the extent of an obstruction can be outlined accordingly.
The tall objects this can apply to are:
· High rise structures 🏙️
· Masts 🚢
· Towers 🗼
· Wind turbines 🍃
· Cranes and more. 🏗️
Prevention of hazards is at the utmost importance to ensure health and safety.
