Side-by-side
AV-EAGLE Deployable Solar Runway Light vs Advanced Visual Docking Guidance System / A-VDGS (RLG Docking Systems, distributed by Vardhman Airport Solutions)
Spec comparison for two products on Aviation Souk. Both compete in Runway Lighting & Airfield Electrical.
Runway Lighting & Airfield Electrical
AV-EAGLE Deployable Solar Runway Light
by Avlite Systems
Hybrid solar/AC deployable runway light developed with Sierra Nevada Corporation for VFR and non-precision IFR operations, delivering over 50 hours of MIRL-equivalent runtime without grid power.
Runway Lighting & Airfield Electrical
Advanced Visual Docking Guidance System / A-VDGS (RLG Docking Systems, distributed by Vardhman Airport Solutions)
by Vardhman Airport Solutions
A 3D laser-scanning docking guidance system from RLG Docking Systems (Taiwan) that tracks incoming aircraft nose position in real time and displays stopping and azimuth guidance to the flight deck — eliminating the weight and height variables that defeat simpler optical systems.
