The WSB_3660_AL Heliport Windsock is a professional-grade aviation accessory specifically engineered to ensure high visibility and operational reliability across a wide range of heliport applications, including rooftop helipads, surface-level landing zones, offshore platforms, and shipboard helidecks. Designed and manufactured in Italy, this windsock assembly integrates advanced lighting and durable construction to meet demanding international aviation standards and environmental conditions.
Standing at a total height of 3660 mm, the tiltable mast is constructed with a stainless-steel top section and an aluminum base, providing both strength and corrosion resistance. The windsock itself is made from durable polyester fabric and measures 2400 mm in length, with a diameter of 600 mm at the mast end, tapering to 300 mm at the tail. This optimized shape ensures accurate and responsive wind direction indication, which is critical for safe helicopter operations.
An integrated lighting system enhances the windsock’s visibility, especially during night operations or low-visibility conditions. The system includes a steady white LED internal beacon and a low-intensity obstruction light that complies with ICAO Type B and FAA L-810 requirements. This ensures the structure remains clearly visible to pilots from up to 200 meters above the installation point. For operations requiring Night Vision Goggle (NVG) compatibility, the system is also available with an infrared (IR) steady lamp option.
The WSB_3660_AL heliport windsock is powered by a 230 VDC input and is built to perform reliably in extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to +55°C, making it suitable for installations in diverse climate conditions. Fully compliant with ICAO Annex 14, Volume II, Chapter 5.3.2, the windsock system supports global aviation safety and lighting standards. Whether deployed on urban rooftops or remote offshore structures, the WSB_3660_AL delivers a robust and efficient wind direction signaling solution tailored to professional heliport environments.
