Description
The HA-L806 Exel windsock assembly: Your frangible-close to the runway wind direction Indicator
The L806 Exel windsock assembly meets specific regulations established by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States. These regulations are designed to ensure the safety and proper operation of windsocks in aviation environments. They cover various aspects, including the installation, maintenance, and visibility requirements for windsocks.
One of the standout features of the L806 Exel windsock assembly is the frangible mast, manufactured by Exel Composites. Holland Aviation is designing the L806 Exel Frangible Mast to be exceptionally strong yet lightweight, allowing it to withstand the harshest weather conditions. Its innovative frangible design ensures that the mast breaks away harmlessly upon impact. As a result, the assembly is well-suited for placement close to runways. It ensures that critical wind information is available where it matters most.
Made to serve as a consistent wind direction indicator, this assembly comes in three versions: unlighted, externally lighted, and internally lighted, catering to your specific needs. The external lighting unit illuminates the windsock from above with 4 floodlights. The internal lighting unit consists of a swivel equipped with two heavy-duty stainless steel bearings, providing illumination from within the windsock. Also, all lighted windsock assemblies are equipped with a low-intensity obstruction light and are available for 100-240VAC or 6,6A power supply.
Durable and environmentally friendly
Crafted with care from quality materials, the windsock assembly ensures durability and accuracy in wind measurement. The HA-L806 Exel windsock assembly features a powder-coated construction, a key element contributing to the longevity and durability of all its components. The illuminated windsock assemblies feature energy-efficient LED lights, contributing to their eco-friendliness. Additionally, the use of high-quality, durable materials with powder coating further enhances their environmental sustainability.
