Helicopter (LifeFlight) Landing Zones

Military, law enforcement, and emergency medical service (EMS)/medivac operations often require temporary or portable helicopter landing zones (LZs or HLZs).  In addition to its other uses, the PowerFlare^®6-Pack Product, either in a rechargeable system or the non-rechargeable soft pack bag, serves as a superior LZ system, eliminating the need for a separate LZ kit.

Areas, vehicles, personnel, etc. can also be marked using visible or infrared PowerFlare^®Units.  Using Infrared-version PowerFlare^®Units, tactical operations can be conducted using FLIR and night-vision systems.

Because the light output is angled and diffused, the pilot's night vision is less likely to be impaired (a common problem with strobes or other such products).  Because the PowerFlare^®light output is focused parallel to the faces of the unit, there is no need to dim the light when the aircraft makes its approach or hovers above the LZ site.

The PowerFlare^®System provides the following benefits:

Increased Visibility
PowerFlare^®Units have reportedly been seen from over 7 miles from the air.
PowerFlare^®Units can flash anywhere from 2 hours to over 150 hours, depending upon the flashing pattern selected, and recharge quickly to be ready for the next use.

Rapid Deployment
PowerFlare^®Units automatically activate when removed from the charger, allowing quick deployment at the LZ.

Compact
PowerFlare^®Units are about the size of a hockey puck, reducing their vulnerability to rotor wash and wind.

Versatile
PowerFlare^®Units can be used for traffic control, as a warning light, as a rescue beacon, and so on.  Because they are watertight and non-reactive, they can be used in places where old-fashioned flares would be dangerous, such as in dry brush.

Economical
PowerFlare^®Units are rechargeable, so you don't waste money on batteries.
