Turbine Avoidance

FAA WIND TURBINE RECOMMENDATIONS
Since wind turbines often exceed the FAA's 200ft requirements, they are considered obstacles to the general aviation air space. For this reason, it is important that all wind farms meet the recommendations and guidelines as specified in FAA AC 70/7460-1K Obstruction Marking and Lighting which describes these standards.
ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE/CITIZENSHIP
It is evident that being a good steward of the environment has to be one of the cornerstones of any successful wind farm business model.
OCAS is setting new standards in exceeding both the FAA requirements and also meeting the environmental and public nuisance concerns associated with new wind farm development.
OCAS is the only IDA Approved Dark-Sky Friendly system available in the world today for obstruction marking and lighting.
HOW OCAS PROTECTS THE NIGHT SKY
By utilizing ground based radar as part of this active recognition system, the OCAS solution limits obstruction light run times to actual aircraft encroachment threats thus eliminating the light pollution associated with legacy obstruction marking applications which traditionally run lighting systems in a continuous basis
The visual and audible warning systems remain passive until an aircraft is detected leaving skies free from light pollution thus decreasing public annoyance issues, improving the habitat for migratory birds while increasing safety for the general aviation community.
