Enhancing Aviation Safety Throughout Africa With The Use of Solar Aviation Lighting ~ Avlite Systems

AV 70 RF Taxiway Lights

Solar aviation lighting products are much cheaper compared to deploying traditional hardwire lighting products. Avlite’s solar powered lighting products don’t require cabling, and need minimal maintenance, thus lowering the total cost of ownership. " Said Mr. Victor Saenz Denis ".

Mr. Denis, Business Development Manager for Avlite Systems, an Australian based Navigational Aid company, told News Ghana in an interview if our lighting system were installed on a number of runways and taxiways across the continent it would enhance the safety of airport operations, providing access for night flight operations, supply drops or even medivacs in emergency situations.

He said, “There is a great lack of funding for the airports. Utilising solar airfield lighting can reduce overall project cost and allow for additional resources to be spent on further runway lighting or taxiways upgrades.”

The dangers of unreliable runway lighting poses major safety concerns to the aviation industry, Denis emphasized, and Avlite Systems is working hard to change that, we’re working with small airports operators to larger international airports to enhance the safety of their airside operations.

The Avlite Systems Business Development Manager emphasized modern trends in the industry required systems that depend less on human involvement.

He warned, “The more complex your system is, the more maintenance you need for your system,” and suggested “you either have a really reliable maintenance team to keep your things maintained or you look for equipment with low maintenance so you run less risk of human failure.”

Mr. Denis urged operators to look for solutions that will allow airports to lower operating costs and explains the benefits involved in deploying solar powered solutions in lighting runways.
