Introduction The size and scale of natural and man-made disasters is on the rise, vulnerability and fragility are increasing, there are major funding discrepancies and operating settings grow increasingly difficult. Although humanitarian aid operations have become more effective over recent years, operators must continue to search for ways to better...
Introduction The global Aviation industry continues to grow rapidly, however consistent and robust profitability is elusive. Measured by revenue, the industry has doubled over the past decade, from US$369 billion in 2004 to a projected $746 billion in 2014, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Much of that...
Benefits of Polyethylene Airfield Markers Polyethylene is one of the most common plastics used today. Avlite uses a Hexene co-polymer based Linear Low Density Polyethylene resin (LLDPE) which is specifically designed for rotational molding applications. LLDPE has been chosen as the material for Avlite airfield markers because of its high...

LED Technology: the Perfect Lighting Solution In recent years as LED technology has become more advanced, the light output (intensity) and efficiency have continued to increase significantly making LED lighting products a viable alternative to the incandescent bulb and other convential lighting methods. Early LEDs only emitted low-intensity red light,...
The Benefits of Solar Power Solar energy is the light that comes from the sun and is the earth’s most abundant energy source. Every day the sun radiates extraordinary amounts of energy into space and, due to the development of technology such as the solar cell, we are able to...
Introduction The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) serves a historically important role in the mitigation of hazards to air navigation in the United States. Thus, it was no surprise when the FAA addressed safety issues with arose from the construction of wind turbines. In their latest update to the Advisory Circular...
It is a great benefit to our community to have this [Avlite’s helipad lighting system] installed and commissioned at CareFlight’s Toowoomba base. Avlite’s particular type of lighting lends itself to a lot of applications given that it’s easy to install, doesn’t require electricity as its solar powered and can be remotely controlled. It’s a fabulous technology, obviously a world leading technology and from my point of view, it’s great to see an Australian Manufacturing success story.

For an aerodrome operator to provide equivalent night-use runway standards for the RFDS and other fixed-base users at around one-third of the cost of a traditional mains-powered runway and taxiway lighting system, there has to be greater recognised merit for this (solar-powered) alternative especially in a location like ours where it is sunny most days of the year.

Our industry appreciates the on-going support of this Australian owned and operated company whose solar powered airfield and helipad lighting systems assist in the improvement of safety for both fixed and rotary wing aeromedical flight crews and passengers around the country.

As the busiest Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) based in the State [of Queensland], the benefits [of Avlite’s helipad lighting] are many. Not only does it [the system] enhance the safety of our operations, it also helps us to continue to improve our level of service delivery to the community and to our customers.

These lights [AV-70s] have been a great asset to many outback communities that previously we were not able to access 24/7.

Just to let you know the new airport floodlight has now been installed for several weeks and the medical staff and Power and Water staff [who look after the airport] agree it has made things much easier and safer for night-time medivacs. Your assistance with enabling us to have this basic but important infrastructure is much appreciated.

Since starting our distributorship with Avlite, we have gone from strength to strength with the great range of solar products and of course the fantastic support of the Avlite staff. It’s been a good year for us. May it continue.

Re: Avlite AV70 taxiway lights, are working really well. Thank you for your assistance in getting our ramp up and running.

The lights are installed and are operating beautifully.

We did install all of the lights. We even used a few red lights as obstruction markers on top of 68 meter power line towers. I finally found a high quality camera and took some photos. I will send them to you as soon as I can download them. We submitted some additional light orders to our contracting office, so you can expect to receive a bit solicitation from them soon. The lights are working great and we appreciate the support.
