Dusk till dawn operations with optional switch.Eliminates infrastructure requirements.Meets all FAA and UFC performance requirements.This allows the installation of guidance signs anywhere they are required on the airfield regardless of the location of electrical service. Airport signs with letters denote taxiways, while numbers indicate runways. The solar panels have custom one-piece mounts making them among the easiest panels to install. The airport signs that appear most frequently on taxiways are black and yellow and have numbers or letters on them. Powered by solar, installing the AGM airfield sign is as simple as mounting the sign and custom SPU (solar power unit). Those depicting pulsing lights embed animation to replicate what you’d see in real life. The cards include high-resolution illustrations on the front and a description and required pilot action on the back. There are no extensive ground works required, no trenches and no requirements for any grid electrical power source. Use these Runway Safety Flash Cards to refresh your understanding of runway and taxiway signs, markings, and lighting.

All this translates to top performance with virtually zero maintenance costs for the full life cycle of the sign. With the AGM solar powered airfield sign, not only are there zero power costs, the installation is extremely easy and there are no bulbs to change. In the first ellipse, you'll see four panels labeled 'B' 'R' 'B' and 'F'. In the photo above, first, ignore the lovely United Airlines Airbus A319.

They are indicated on a black sign with yellow letters or a yellow sign with black letters and arrows.

These patented signs use long-lasting energy-efficient LED technology to provide exceptionally bright, clean light and outstanding visibility under all conditions.

Now AGM has introduced the first FAA certified LED airfield sign designed to be powered by solar. AGM was the first to produce an ultra low power consumption, FAA certified L-858 LED internally lighted airfield sign.
