This Webinar is dedicated to ICAO compliance of S4GA Solar Airfield Lighting systems.
In this Webinar we talk about ICAO regulations and explain why S4GA Solar AGL can be used as permanent system by Commercial Airports.
Airfield lighting industry has changed over the last decades. If 10 years ago solar runway lights were used as a temporary solution, today more and more airports would choose solar airfield lighting as a permanent system for their airports. Why? Because of numerous advantages that solar AGL solution has:
- higher reliability,
- lower investment,
- fast and easy installation,
- zero operating cost.
In this Webinar, we explain:
1. Typical cases when commercial airports use solar permanent runway lighting
2. Key ICAO documents regulating AGL
3. ICAO Compliance of S4GA Solar Airfield Lighting
The ICAO compliance of S4GA Solar Airfield Lighting Webinar was hosted by Mr Dmytro Kuczeruk – S4GA Business Development Manager.
This S4GA Webinar is dedicated to Backup Runway Lighting for International Airports.
During the Webinar we present S4GA solution for international airports that are:
- under runway rehabilitation works
- struggling with an unreliable primary AGL
- struggling with unreliable mains power supply.
For such cases, S4GA offers solar airfield lighting system – a cost-saving and cost-effective solution that operates 365 days on solar energy.
Benefits of Solar Runway Lighting have been discussed during the Webinar:
- quick installation
- easy maintenance
- availability 24/7
- close to zero operational costs
- compliance with ICAO / ADM
The Backup Runway Lighting for International Airports Webinar was hosted by Mr Łukasz Kornacki – S4GA Business Development Manager and Expert in Aviation Infrastructure.
This S4GA Webinar is dedicated to the installation and maintenance of Solar Airfield Lighting.
During the Webinar, we explain the main stages of installation of solar AGL and present the benefits of S4GA solar lighting solution.
Total time required for installation, testing and commissioning of solar AGL are 20-30 working days. Maintenance of S4GA solar airfield lighting includes only cleaning solar panels and replacing the batteries when needed. Airport personnel is always notified in advance about upcoming maintenance by S4GA ALCMS.
S4GA provides full technical and after-sales support for its Customers. We provide onsite training for airport engineers, online training, video tutorials, manuals and technical specification documents.
The Installation and Maintenance of Solar Airfield Lighting Webinar was hosted by Mr Dmytro Kuczeruk – S4GA Business Development Manager.
This Webinar is dedicated to Control and Monitoring of S4GA Solar Airfield Lighting. During the Webinar we explain fundamental principles and differences between airfield lighting control in traditional wired systems (powered by 6.6A grid) and in S4GA wireless airfield lighting powered by solar energy. We also describe types of wireless networks and the benefits of using the S4GA Mesh type radio network.
A detailed overview of S4GA ALCMS is given later in this webinar. ALCMS is an Airfield Lighting Control and Monitoring System designed to provide full remote control and monitoring of solar LED runway lighting from the TWR or maintenance room. S4GA ALCMS provides individual light status display that allows airport engineers to monitor the health of every lighting unit in the system. ALCMS also notifies engineers about upcoming maintenance (e.g. replacing batteries or cleaning solar panels) and reports about light failures.
The Control and Monitoring of S4GA Airfield Lighting Webinar was hosted by Mr Łukasz Kornacki – S4GA Business Development Manager and expert in the Airfield Lighting Industry.
The webinar is dedicated to redundancy airfield lighting system and its benefits for high-traffic airports.
As you will see, the main benefit of solar redundancy AGL is saving money from cancelled flights caused by a sudden loss of runway illumination. During the webinar, real case studies of RWY lighting failures were presented where airport financial losses from such emergencies reached $ 250.000 – 1.000.000 on average. By having S4GA solar-powered AGL installed on the runway, the airport could save this money.
Among many other benefits of redundancy AFL system should be mentioned: annual savings on electricity and reducing carbon emissions. These benefits were also presented and discussed at the webinar.
