ICAO: Annex 14, Volume I – Aerodrome Design and Operations ICAO: Annex 14, Volume II – Heliports IEC TS 61827: Electrical installations for lighting and beaconing of aerodromes A Heliport beacon is a powerful light, omnidirectional intended to signal the presence of a heliport. The Heliport beacon flashes in Morse code the letter H. It is used especially when the helipads are surrounded by lights like in a city where it is hard to distinguish the heliports from the other lights. Light fixture body: powder-coated aluminum, RAL 1004 (aviation yellow) Diffuser: clear poly-carbonate Cable gland: nickel-plated brass Fasteners: stainless steel Light fixtures are provided with anti condensation valve Light fixtures are UV protected The heliport beacon must be powered and controlled by a special controller which creates the flashing sequence and alow the brightness control. The Heliport Beacon can be also controlled by the main heliport controller. Optical Characteristics The heliport beacon uses OSRAM White LEDs. The beam is omnidirectional and the vertical distribution is from 0 to 10 degrees. The brightness intensity values comply with: ICAO Annex 14 Vol.2 fig.5-11/1 The measured trichromatic coordinates correspond to color range requirements in: ICAO Annex 14 – Aerodromes Vol.1, fig. A1-1-1b – Colors for aeronautical ground lights (solid-state lighting). Brightness control is made in three steps 3, 10 and 100%.
