Introducing the HA-L806 Windsock Assembly: Your frangible-close to the runway Wind Direction Indicator

The L806 windsock assembly is subject to specific regulations set forth by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States. The FAA’s regulations are designed to ensure the safety and proper functioning of windsocks used in aviation environments. Accordingly, these regulations cover various aspects of windsock installation, maintenance, and visibility.

 

One of the standout features of the L806 Windsock Assembly is its frangible coupling system. This design element enhances safety by allowing the installation to break away upon impact. This minimizes potential damage to aircraft and equipment. As a result, the assembly is well-suited for placement in close proximity to runways. It ensures that critical wind information is available where it matters most.

 

Created 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 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 utilization of high-quality, durable materials with powder coating further enhances their environmental sustainability.

 

 

Key Features of the HA-L806 Windsock Assembly:

  1. Frangible coupling: The L806 windsock assembly features a frangible coupling system, designed to break away upon impact. This safety feature minimizes potential damage and enhances its suitability for placement near runways in aviation environments.
  2. Powder-coated frame: available in either a complete orange finish or a distinctive red/white color combination. This coating enhances durability while offering high visibility to ensure accurate wind direction indication for aviation operations.
  3. Reliable Wind Direction: The windsock assembly serves as a dependable wind direction indicator, providing accurate readings and crucial information about prevailing winds.
  4. Insightful Wind Data: By combining wind direction with the windsock’s orientation, you can estimate wind speed, empowering better decision-making.
  5. Low Maintenance: The windsock assembly’s design is to minimize maintenance requirements, making it a cost-effective choice.
  6. Sizing: The L806 windsock assembly accommodates a windsock size of Ø45x250cm (size 1), ensuring compatibility with standard aviation dimensions. This size provides clear and accurate wind direction indication for pilots during takeoff, landing, and taxiing procedures close to the runway.
  7. Efficient Wind Inflation: The windsock’s taper ensures full inflation, even in wind speeds as low as 15 knots, enhancing visibility and accuracy.
  8. Strong Endurance: HA windsock sleeves have demonstrated durability against wind speeds exceeding 145km/h (75 knots), proving their reliability.
  9. Thorough Testing: Windsock fabrics undergo comprehensive testing, ensuring mechanical strength, UV resistance, and colorfastness.
