Heliport Wind Cones

Application:

XB-FXB1L is used to provide visual surface wind direction and velocity information to pilots in helicopters over the final approach and takeoff areas. Each airport must be set at least one wind cone, and its installation location should be chosen not to be disturbed by the flow from the nearby objects or helicopter rotors and ensure that pilots in helicopters can clearly see the wind cones when flighting, hovering or on the ground at heliports.
