Elevated Aeronautical Ground Light AV-EAGLE

The EAGLE is the most advanced hybrid airfield lighting solution ever to be fielded in the industry and is the result of a teaming effort between Avlite Systems and Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC). SNC is a world-class prime systems integrator and electronic systems provider known for its rapid, innovative and agile technology solutions.

The Avlite / SNC EAGLE are deployable solar runway lights for VFR and non-precision IFR lighting requirements. EAGLE runway lights can be used autonomously or as part of a complete portable solar airfield lighting system providing auxiliary power and a master control unit with extensive diagnostic and fault detection capabilities. The EAGLE can also be operated from the ALSCMCU (airfield lighting system master control unit).

The EAGLE has non-precision IFR and VFR capability with both visible and near-infrared lighting outputs. The airfield lights can be controlled anywhere in the airfield by handheld radio controller, in the air traffic control tower or from the aircraft via VHF receiver with virtually unlimited range using an encrypted repeating mesh network. The EAGLE has three selectable modes; always on, dusk-till-dawn and standby. When set to dusk-till-dawn mode, integrated sensors in the light are able to detect when the ambient light threshold drops sufficiently and the light will begin operation automatically.

There is significant value in rapid installation for non-precision IFR operations in areas of no infrastructure. When in High-Intensity Mode the lights can run for over 40 hours before recharging of the battery is needed. If requirements exceed 40 hours of operation at IFR capable high-intensity output, high voltage power cables can be attached to the EAGLE allowing for continuous operations at any intensity. A high voltage direct connection to the EAGLE allows for redundant power, quick battery recharge during operation and the added level of safety of not having a single point of failure in the entire system.

Lights can be set to Low (10%), Medium (30%), High (100%).

Lights are able to be assigned to a ‘light group’, and groups can be controlled independently using the wireless handheld controller.

Over 50hrs of continuous operation at FAA non-precision MIRLs per AC/150-5345-46D L861 without solar or auxiliary charge

What Our Clients Say

The simplicity of the self-contained light and the option to use a PALC leaves no doubt why they chose Avlite helipad lighting.

-Jorge de Dios

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.

-Cr Mike Williams

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.

-Jenny Kox

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.

-Graeme Field

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.

-Ashley van de Velde

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

-Alan Benn

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.

-Stephanie Fielder

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.

-Eddie Lacina

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

-Capt. US Air Force

[In reference to more than 2,000 AV70 taxiway lights installed] Those Taxiway lights work great, we are not having any problems with those AV70’s. Thanks a lot.

-USAF

The lights are installed and are operating beautifully.

-Strathcona Airport

[In reference to Avlite radio controlled obstruction lighting] They are really neat to watch come on, they come on instantly and are a great addition to our pilot training school. The lights are currently set on medium intensity as high intensity is very bright.

-Airport Staff

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.

-US ARMY

[In reference to a visit to the Avlite production facilities] On arrival at Avlite I was greeted by the Sales Manager, and was treated like a VIP. I was given a tour of the production line and had a close look, and an in-depth explanation of all the components of the Avlite system. The staff were fantastic and very helpful. It was truly fascinating and I now have a good story to tell Wanarn community members on my return. I was also shown the vast range of solar system lights and other products that they make.
I have recommended Avlite solar lighting systems to many local communities and Avlite will be my first stop shop if the community needs anything regarding solar power in the future. Well done, and thank you Avlite.
