FT 736 Omnidirectional Heliport Acquisition Beacon Flashing Morse Code “H”

Applications

Designed to assist heliport acquisition by helicopter pilots flying in the vicinity, the FT 736 is an omnidirectional heliport beacon that emits a distinctive flashing white light transmitting the Morse code for “H” – four flashes spaced 2/15 of a second apart at two-second intervals. This unique flashing pattern readily distinguishes the beacon from other lighting in the area and provides highly conspicuous heliport acquisition during day, twilight, and night operations with three selectable intensity levels.
