Helicopter Approach Path Indicator (HAPI)
General Description
Our LED HAPI (Helicopter Approach Path Indicator) systems provide pilots with a precise and reliable visual glide slope during final approach. Using distinct red and green light combinations, pilots can instantly determine whether they are above, below, or on the correct glide path.
Available in both portable and permanent configurations, our LED HAPI offers flexible options to meet ICAO, FAA, and STANAG requirements.
Configuration Options
• Portable and permanent models
• Visible and IR output
• ICAO / FAA / STANAG compliance
• Multiple power options
Applications
• Permanent and temporary helipads
• Hospital and emergency response helipads
• Remote and austere locations
• Military and NVG operations
Advanced Optics
The HAPI utilizes patented LED-based optics to deliver low power consumption, high intensity, and a sharp, precise red/green transition. It exceeds ICAO, FAA, and STANAG requirements, ensuring clear and reliable visual guidance for pilots.
Easy Installation
Designed for both permanent and temporary deployment, the HAPI installs quickly and efficiently in any environment. Permanent installations use standard frangible mounting, while portable units feature retractable legs and a lightweight, compact design for rapid setup. An LED keypad and indicators allow for easy operation, even while wearing gloves. The antenna is removable and field-replaceable.
Power Supply Versatility
Low power consumption allows the HAPI to operate with a wide range of power solutions, including:
• Solar kit
• Generator kit
• Battery kit
• AC only
Control Options
Optional wireless control enables remote operation via 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz communication. The system also supports 3-step and 5-step wired control, along with local control at the unit.
Proven Reliability
Deployed worldwide, from military installations to civilian airfields, and from the Middle East to the Arctic, the HAPI has demonstrated exceptional durability and performance in the most demanding environments.
