Webinar: Balancing Aviation Safety and Visual Impact: ADLS in Germany; 21st June 2021
Due to the projected expansion of wind farms and increase in tower heights the wind industry is required to deal with the visual impact of turbines and concomitant issues of obstruction lighting.
Germany is the first European country to make Aircraft Detection Lighting Systems (ADLS) mandatory for all wind turbines requiring obstruction markings – prescribed by law until 31 December 2022 for onshore wind farms and 31 December 2023 for offshore wind farms. All technologies, primary radar, passive radar, and transponder, can be used. Get an insight into the “German solution” for marking of aviation obstacles:
- Learn how Germany balances aviation safety and the visual impact of wind turbine lighting
- Hear why Germany chose ADLS as a “smart form of obstacle lighting” for wind turbines
- Learn about the challenges and solutions related to the legal obligation of using ADLS
- Find out more about the legislative framework: ICAO - Germany
- Get a clear picture of the approval process in Germany
