Lighted Wind Cone (WC Series, FAA L-806 Frangible / L-807 Rigid) 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
Lighted Wind Cone (WC Series, FAA L-806 Frangible / L-807 Rigid)
by Flight Light Inc.
Aluminium-basket lighted wind cone in FAA L-806 frangible and L-807 rigid configurations, available with AC or integrated solar power and LED lamps rated for 50,000–100,000 hours.
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.
