Aircraft Navigation And Strobe Lights Mock Up

Abstract

In order to fulfill the requirement of Diploma in Helicopter Maintenance Technology from University Kuala Lumpur, Malaysian Institute of Aviation Technology ( UniKL MIAT ), we need to adapt our experiences which conclude the skills and knowledge during our three years in the university to our final project. Navigation lights are colored source of illumination on a waterborne vessel, aircraft and some spacecraft, used to signal a aircraft’s position, heading, and status. Commonly, their placement is mandated by international conventions or civil authorities Aircraft navigation lights are placed with a red navigation light located on the left wingtip leading edge and a green light on the right wingtip leading edge. A white navigation light is as far aft as possible on the tail or each wing tip. High – intensity strobe lights are located on the aircraft to aid in collision avoidance. In civil aviation, pilots must keep navigation lights on from sunset to sunrise. High – intensity white strobe lights are part of the anti – collision light system.
