Product Overview
The Avlite Helicopter Approach Path Indicator (HAPI) is designed to provide helicopter pilots with safe and accurate glide slope guidance during final approach. The system helps pilots determine whether their approach is too high, too low, or correctly on-slope through combinations of red and green lights.
The Avlite HAPI is available in two basic models with multiple configuration options to meet ICAO, FAA, and STANAG requirements. It is suitable for permanent or temporary helipad installations and supports a variety of power and control configurations.
