Features& Benefits:

● Compliance to FAA and ICAO standard

● The windsock Frame is illuminated internally by an LED lamp to give 75,000-hour life at low energy consumption.

● Weatherproof sealed bearings for smooth rotation and true wind readings

● Dis-mountable windsock and support pole, convenient for transportation and storage.The mast sections are joined by bolts; no welding is required to assemble. The sectional design also means no lifting equipment is required to install the mast.

● Dismantling: a dismantling device on the top of the base, to prevent the damage to the aircraft in case of accident hit to the aircraft.

● Optional fuse bolts for frangibility

● The lamp is shielded from the mouth of windsock to prevent pilot glare, using a stainless-steel shield that rotates with the windsock. Lighting is available for 220V, 120V AC, 48V DC or 6.6A application.

● The illumination is fixed, with the windsock frame and shield rotating around it, for maximum reliability. We do not use a slip ring to transfer power to a rotating light fitting.

● An ICAO-compliant Red LED Low Intensity Obstruction Light can be mounted at the top of the mast.

● The illumination is controlled by a switch mounted on the base post, fitted with a small neon light to help locate it in the dark, a photocell is available if required. The optional obstruction light is controlled directly by a switch to allow it to be left on at all times if required.

● The windsock frame is a low-mass design, fabricated entirely from stainless steel, rotating at 360 degree freely, rugged, reliable and proven operation; The basket-type frame supports the windsock fully open under zero wind conditions.

● All cabling is contained within the mast for protection.

● The mast can be safely raised and lowered by one person using an auto-braked winch. This is fitted as standard to masts 4m or higher, to avoid damage to the windsock when lowering the mast for maintenance.

● A mast lock secures the mast in the upright position once raised, in addition to the winch.

● No special tools or stitching are required to fit or replace the windsock.

● A range of standard sizes from 1.5m to 7m overall height; Other heights available to suit local requirements.
