OPL - Built-in Omnidirectional LED Perimeter Light for FATO Area, White
The FATO (Final Approach and Takeoff) lights are illumination lights used to indicate the final approach and takeoff area on the runway of a heliport or airport. These lights are designed to guide pilots during the landing and takeoff phase, providing better visibility and orientation, especially in low-light or reduced visibility conditions.
The FATO lights are typically placed along the edge of the runway and can be of different colors, such as white, green, or blue. These lights can be arranged in specific configurations, such as strips or bars, to provide pilots with a visual reference during the approach and takeoff.
The FATO lights are part of the airport and heliport lighting system and are essential to ensure proper guidance of aircraft during critical approach and takeoff phases, thus contributing to the safety of aerial operations.
