JCL550 Airport wind cone is designed to accurately measure wind direction and speed for safe and efficient aviation operations. It is used for indicating final approach and taking off wind direction on smaller airfields, heliports and as supplemental wind indicators near runway touchdown areas on large airfields, and providing visual indication of wind direction and velocity at a location on an airfield. The wind cone is constructed with durable and weather-resistant materials, making it ideal for use in various environmental conditions. The bright orange color ensures visibility from a distance,allowing pilots to easily determine wind direction and speed as they approach the runway.
It is also designed to be easily installed and maintained, with a sturdy base that can be mounted securely on the ground. The cone itself is made of a lightweight yet strong fabric that can withstand strong winds and harsh weather.
The Wind cone is internaly illuminated and mounted with an Obstacle red LED light on the top. It is available in different dimensions and has a very durable synthetic textile. The Wind cone is tiltable and is one-man-operation for windcone remplacement.
Each wind cones can be custom designed for various heights, basket sizes and windsock colours, converted for portable applications, outfitted with visible and infrared obstruction lights as required. We also provide various options of customization, such as the integration of a specific logo, a specific size or a specific colour.
Whether it's a small regional airport or a bustling international hub, our airport wind cone is an essential tool for ensuring the smooth and safe operation of air traffic.
• Compliance to FAA and ICAO standard
• The windsock Frame is illuminated internally by an LED lamp to give 75,000-hour life at low energy consumption.
• Weatherproof sealed bearings for smooth rotation and true wind readings
• Dis-mountable windsock and support pole, convenient for transportation and storage.The mast sections are joined by bolts; no welding is required to assemble. The sectional design also means no lifting equipment is required to install the mast.
• Use fragile mast, which can protect aircraft from accidents effectively
• Dismountable windsock and support pole, convenient for transportation and storage.
• Dismantling: a dismantling device on the top of the base, to prevent the damage to the aircraft in case of accident hit to the aircraft.
• Toppling structure design, easy to maintain
• Bearing assembly with a sealing cover, rotating freely and can show wind direction in real time
• Selectable air bag color
• An ICAO-compliant Red LED Low Intensity Obstruction Light can be mounted at the top of the mast, with low power consumption and external long life
• Integrated circuit as power drive, reliable operation and convenient maintenance
• Use light, high strength and waterproof cloth as air bag, which is flexible. And the basket-type frame supports the windsock fully open under zero wind conditions.
• 100% polyester custom-made material, light, high strength and waterproof, available in standard aviation orange, or in ICAO layout 3 colour and 2 white bands. Other colours or striped/banded versions in different colors and sizes are available.
• All cabling is contained within the mast for protection.
• External long life
• No special tools or stitching are required to fit or replace the windsock.
• A range of standard sizes from 1.8m to 4.8m overall height; Other heights available to suit local requirements.
