What are FAA Lights?

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires structures over 150 feet tall to have an aeronautical study performed by the FAA.

If the structure is near an airport or heliport, that height can be lower. The FAA will determine if your structure requires lighting. 

Unimar can guide you through the process to ensure that your structure will be in compliance.

The types of FAA lights you will need depend on the type of structure as well as the structure's location.

For a comprehensive overview of which FAA lights are necessary for your organization, read more about FAA lighting requirements here. 

FAA lights, also known as "obstruction lights," exist to prevent aircrafts from colliding with buildings, towers and other elevated structures. FAA lights are a necessary safety feature.

Monitor and Minimize Downtime for FAA Lights with Obstruction Light Monitoring

The FAA recommends organizations that require obstruction lighting to have records for at least 2 years of data regarding the status of their lighting systems. 

In the event of accident, not having a record of obstruction light data could result in litigation that could force an organization to close. Because of this, the value and importance of obstruction light monitoring cannot be overstated. 

Unimar makes it streamlined and easy to integrate obstruction light monitoring. With our obstruction light monitoring systems, all events are logged and reports can be automated and output to a spreadsheet. Accessing this data is secure but simple for authorized personnel. It's as easy as visiting a web page or checking your email.

Unimar's obstruction light monitoring is certified by the FAA.
