Each lighting assembly includes anti-collision, forward position and rear position light functions. One set of lighting assemblies replaces up to 6 individual lights. This lighting technology is a modern, long life alternative to existing incandescent and strobe systems with no filaments to break or capacitors to be replaced. These advantages will greatly reduce operational costs and improve dispatch reliability. All units comply with the color requirements stated in FAR Parts 23 and 25 for Aviation Red, White and Green and are FAA TSO certified.
Product Information
The 87-03916/17 Series lights, also known as the μPTAs, are complete anti-collision and position light systems (forward & rear). Astronics set the benchmark by pioneering the LED wingtip mounted external combination lighting system with its earlier generation designs. The new μPTA system incorporates all of the same high reliable functionality but in a smaller, lighter, more efficient design.
