____SCB eco-light - Heliports________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Smart Controlled Biofly, hence the acronym "SCB", are lights signalation devices with high efficiency LED lights controllable remotely through a wireless comunication ZigBee module and powered by photovoltaic panels.

Arise from the need to provide the pilot of a message immediately noticeable, that aids in a critical path, even in low visibility conditions and in the presence of other moving vehicles. The aircraft equipped with transponders, or other means to communicate through radio frequency, or even a simple enabled phone to send text messages, sends its data identification, position, velocity and / or direction and makes contact with the unit master on the ground, able to incorporate the information, process it and transmit it to other nodes to generate a visible light signal from the pilot.

SCB TLOF (Touchdown and Lift-Off Area)

The SCB TLOF lights delimit the load bearing area of any shape on which it is intended that the helicopter shall land on from, and take off to. It may form an integral part of the FATO or be situated apart from the FATO depending on the disposition of the site.

The SCBs are fixed lights showing green.

SCB FATO (Final Approach Take Off)

This lights are applied to the area over which a helicopter will execute the final part of the final approach and the initial part of the take off.

The SCBs are fixed lights showing white.

SCB TEL (Taxiway Edge Lights)

The SCB TEL, as taxiway edge lights, are provided at the edges of a runway turn pad and holding bay.

The SCBs are fixed lights showing blue.
