Automatic Detection Lighting Systems (or ADLS as it is more commonly known) is a system that allows the aviation obstruction lighting fitted to wind turbines, or any other obstruction, to [...]
Developments worldwide can receive objections from numerous sources, including Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs). Often such objections are related to radar interference, however issues can also be raised due to [...]
Overview The DeTect Harrier Aircraft Detection Lighting System (ADLS) enables lights to be illuminated as aircraft approach a wind farm. Lights are extinguished once the aircraft leaves the area. The [...]
Wind turbines and airports co-exist throughout the world despite the fact that wind turbines can present an obstruction risk to low flying aircraft as well as potentially affect radar systems. [...]
Previous articles: Radar concerns have rendered two turbines motionless Aveillant technology to mitigate the effects of two wind turbines at East Midlands Airport Overview Three years in the making, the [...]
In Brief It is a zone where a radar ignores interference. When properly implemented interference is rejected whilst genuine targets (aircraft) are displayed. Non Auto Initiation Zones (NAIZs) are sometimes [...]
Pager Power has over a decade of experience dealing with and overcoming wind farm radar objections. Many potential mitigation techniques are available to overcome said objections however some solutions are [...]
Wind Turbines cause turbulence which can affect small aircraft that fly through it. Pager Power has undertaken a number of wind turbine wake turbulence assessments and has managed flight trials [...]
What Are Obstacle Limitation Surfaces? The UK has [1] 129 licensed civil aerodromes (and even more unlicensed aerodromes). In order to protect aircraft against potential collision risk, it is necessary to [...]
RAF Objections Renewable energy developers in the UK regularly face objections from the Royal Air Force (RAF) /Ministry Of Defence (MOD). This is particularly common for wind developments due to [...]
