LED Lighting for Safety- Rotary Wing

Abstract

The Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) approached the Science and Technology Innovation Center (STIC) about an interest in evaluating better ways to light the hoist hook on CG helicopters. Current practice is to clip a chemical light onto the hoist hook during low-visibility and night operations. To determine if there are better solutions, the STIC worked with ALC and the Office of Aviation Safety (CG-1131) to purchase and test LED cable hoist lights.
