Aircraft Detection Lighting Systems (ADLS) can help address these challenges by activating obstruction lighting when aircraft are detected in the vicinity, reducing unnecessary illumination while maintaining the required level of aviation safety. ADLS offer a way to balance aviation safety with the needs of local communities and the environment.
This document provides practical guidance on the implementation of Aircraft Detection Lighting Systems, with a particular focus on wind farms and similar tall obstacles. It aims at supporting wind farm operators, airspace users, regulators, ANSPs, or other industry stakeholders to understand available approaches about ADLS implementation.
