Transmission Line Development Near Aerodromes
Introduction The development of large scale wind and solar developments throughout the world means that new overhead transmission lines are sometimes routed near existing civil and military airbases which can result in aerodrome safeguarding objections due to collision risk or the potential impact on radio and electronic navigation aids. Pager…
Predicted glare means changes to solar park near airport
Overview A proposed solar park near Anderson Municipal Airport in central Indiana, USA, has required re-location after glint and glare analysis revealed that the development could affect pilots landing at the airport. Figure 1: Anderson Municipal Airport, Indiana Solar park overview The proposed solar park was to be located east…

Update: The glint and glare assessment guidance is now available for peer consultation and can be downloaded here. Overview Pager Power has vast experience undertaking glint and glare assessments (over 230 to date) in the UK, Ireland and internationally. However, in the time taken to complete this number of assessments,…
Glint and Glare Assessments for Tracking Solar Panels
Introduction Pager Power has undertaken over 200 assessments to determine the impact of solar reflections from Photovoltaic arrays on aircraft, trains, vehicles, air traffic controllers, animals and homes. The technical team has recently updated its advanced in-house software and other processes to enable the prediction and assessment of glint and glare…
Aviation Lighting for Buildings
This subject seems like a no-brainer at first. Put a couple of red lights on top of your building if it’s near an airport and that should be the end of it. Unfortunately it often gets more complicated for a range of reasons – this article seeks to explain some…
What is a Non Auto Initiation Zone (NAIZ)?
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 used to mitigate the effects of wind turbines. Figure 1: A Pager Power simulation of Thales STAR 2000 radar mitigation…
What happens on a television reception survey
The following article presents an overview of the typical process for completing a television reception survey for wind developments, building or any tall obstruction that may affect television signals. Why is a television reception survey required? A television reception survey should be undertaken where the obstruction has a potential to…
Solar array shadowing and tall buildings
Shadowing Threat to Solar Panels With 119 new tall building applications now in the London planning system from March 2015 to March 2016, issues arising from tall structures will only continue to increase. From a residential amenity perspective, an adjacent landowner may lodge an objection if ‘anyone who has had…
