5 Reasons why Obstruction lights are important, reasons behind strict laws
by John Smith I am Professional Article Writer, since 2012Most people reading this are new to the
idea of the existence of Obstruction lights, a few don’t know what they probably
are and the rest are those who may need to install them. Let’s clear what these
rights are and why there is a need to follow the rules exactly when it comes to
Warning Lights. In a recent survey, it was revealed the lack of knowledge to the
importance of these lights and their role in air traffic safety as well as
the regulations.
No such thing as “Too Safe”
The first thing
that the survey showed was people’s thinking that the obstruction lights are just
a ploy to extort money and there is no need for them because of plane accidents
are not common. This is like telling someone to stop taking insulin for their
Diabetes because they are feeling better or that Chemotherapy is just
extortion of money so you shouldn’t do it.
The issue is that
you need to do it, the airway is the same because there are warning lights in place
to minimize the chance of a plane crash, this means you need to have them to keep
the possibility of crashing planes minute, this is a point that everyone should
understand.
Height of Buildings
The Height of building matters, we are making buildings that can be seen through the
satellites and that means these buildings are big. These buildings are big
enough to obstruct a flying plane, this may not be an issue for the bigger
planes that land on airport strips unless they are near the airport. It is,
however an issue for the smaller flying vehicles.
The small Private
planes, Jets and helicopters have a far higher number of crashes than a normal
plane because they don’t land on smaller landing areas in the middle of
buildings, now take the obstruction lights away from those buildings.
The brightness of the Light
The brightness of
the lights are also a thing people don’t understand the importance of as they
thing that one intensity works all day, however, according to National Aircraft
Warning Lights, there are many different reasons for this, the main and most
important being the visibility and the blindness factor. If you look at lights
on the full intensity at night, you will be blinded by them which is not good the thing for a pilot to be and low or medium intensity during the morning won’t
be visible.
Obstruction lights
need to be changed in intensity according to the time of the day and although
you may think there is no reason for them in the morning, many pilots have an
impaired vision while flying and a bright and shining light helps guide them to
avoid anything.
