Aviation Lighting Scheme
Demonstrate compliance and reassure aviation stakeholders with tailored lighting schemes that protect flight safety while minimising visual impact on communities.
Why Aviation Lighting Matters
Tall structures such as wind turbines, masts, and buildings often require aviation lighting to ensure they are visible to pilots and safeguard flight operations. Inadequate or non-compliant lighting can lead to safety concerns.
By providing a clear, regulator-ready lighting scheme, you demonstrate that aviation risks are addressed, reducing objections and helping projects progress smoothly through planning.
What Our Assessment Provides
We design aviation lighting schemes in line with national and international guidance, including requirements from the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). Each scheme sets out the type, intensity, and placement of lighting required to make your development compliant and safe.
Our reports specifically consider landscape and visual impacts, to provide a balance between safety requirements and light pollution in the areas immediately surrounding your development.
We understand the principles of aviation lighting so we can quickly and efficiently inform you whether lighting is likely to be required for your development, meaning you can start thinking about any implications for the design of your development or impacts it may create. We can subsequently manage any consultation that is required, which may include discussions regarding the design, location, number and types of lights that are required.

We have always found it very easy to work with Pager Power
Pager Power undertake Radar and Aviation assessments for our wind turbine developments – particularly civil and MoD radar issues. We have always found it very easy to work with Pager Power, they always deliver what they say they will deliver on time. The assessments and advice are always spot on and have allowed us to progress projects with confidence, knowing that we will be able to deal with potential technical challenges should they arise. We have learned to trust and respect their advice and they are our go-to consultants for this type of work.

Pager Power has helped us obtain planning permission across the UK
We first appointed Pager Power in 2004 to assess a number of wind farms in North East England resulting in objections being withdrawn by Newcastle Airport. The company has successfully helped us resolve NATS, Royal Airforce, telecommunications and minor airfield issues. Pager Power provides advice and technical analysis, are easy to talk to and deliver reports on time. Pager Power has helped us obtain planning permission across the UK including a range of onshore wind farms in North East England and Central Scotland.
