To explain recent developments in lighting technology.
This briefing is prepared by an independent writer.
Airports, including Manchester and Birmingham in the UK, that have already bought into the new strategy have seen the effectiveness of their maintenance improve to a point where their core aeronautical ground lighting (AGL) services are now constantly maintained to a verifiable performance level that is well in excess of the minimum standards, and without the need to increase overall maintenance spending.
The potential and significant benefits of regularly employing the mobile measurement technology, in conjunction with preventative maintenance regime, are now starting to be realized, not least by the civil aviation regulatory authorities who now recommend this new maintenance approach.
Explains the issues surrounding maintenance of lighting and describes new technology which can save costs.
