Providing a safe approach and landing is the ultimate goal when an investment is made in visual aids around an airport, airfield lighting.  A safe landing starts by giving the pilot a reliable reference so a smooth, stable approach can be performed on the correct glideslope.  This is primarily the job of the Precision Approach Path Indicator, or PAPI.

Although the PAPI was invented many years ago, it was primarily installed at large airports because of the high power consumption and maintenance requirements of the conventional incandescent models, airport lighting.  With the advancements in LED technology, the PAPI is now available for a number of different applications, including rural/remote landing strips, temporary airstrips in support of humanitarian missions and large airports aiming to reduce their carbon emissions and energy consumption.

The Solar Series LED PAPI is the industry%u2019s most installed solar powered PAPI.  By careful sizing of a frangible solar power unit for each installation, the PAPI is able to match the operating profile of the airport and reliably operate to ICAO standards in any environmentm airfield sign.  The Solar Series LED PAPI needs no trenching for cable to the site, uses no electricity and has LED fixtures that need no replacing for over 100,000 hours.  The savings in installation, energy consumption and maintenance are considerable.

When speed of installation is essential, the Solar Series Portable LED PAPI is unmatched, mobile airfield.  The portable version comes with foldable legs; quick connect power supply cables and wireless control.  For portable airfield lighting systems used by humanitarian organizations around the world, the Solar Series Portable LED PAPI adds an added degree of safety for aircraft operations.
