Australian aviation lighting systems manufacturer Avlite Systems introduced the next generation of its Solar Portable Airfield Lighting System trailer (Solar PALS), a convenient, fully transportable, autonomous lighting system for easy, rapid deployment supporting temporary or long term operations for both civil and defense aviation: fixed and rotary operations.
Once deployed, the lighting system can be controlled via a 2.4GHz encrypted mesh network capable of being operated from the tower, ground, or approaching aircraft by a Pilot Activated Lighting Controller (PALC).The trailer can be supplied to meet ICAO or FAA standards.
The Solar PALS trailer contains all lighting and ancillary equipment required to support temporary or sustained fixed and rotary operations. The standard configuration is suitable for an airfield with a 5000ft/1500m runway. Avlite offers completely customizable solutions for their customers.
The Avlite Solar PALS Trailer has been built to military grade standards with an integrated charging system that allows for the full complement of lights to be simultaneously charged using standard external mains power feeds. A solar auxiliary system with battery backup provides power to the critical control equipment during deployment.
