However, multiple vehicles at the site often result in an array of blue, red, orange and white flashing lights, making it difficult for the approaching pilot to easily and quickly identify the obstacle-free area. And fire danger often prohibits deployment of flame fuseson grass surfaces or in the midst of a fuel spill.

Pi-Lit LZ Kit includes 5 radio-linked flares with both visible and infra-red LEDs. The flares are placed at the corners of a 100 foot (30 meter) square with one placed outside to designate wind direction OR inverted Yfree of obstacles.

The flares flash in unison to create an identifiable constellationof either infra-red or visible flashing points. The operator may use any one of the 5 flares to control the entire group, changing from visible to infra-red with the(more...)
