ArrowBeacon™ Product Models

ArrowBeacon™ is offered in a modular family of products designed to fit a range of airport environments — from small general aviation (GA) airfields to regional and commercial airports. All models share a common control architecture, ADS-B integration, and dual-beacon orientation logic, with differing levels of beam control, networking, and automation.

ArrowBeacon™ Lite

(For rural, private, or un-towered airstrips)

Entry-level model focused on VFR and marginal-VFR operations. Provides fundamental runway orientation and visual reference aid.

Manual or Pilot-Activated Lighting (PAL) control
Solar-battery power option
Range: 5–7 NM visual detectability in clear weather
Rugged enclosure for remote field installation

Best For:

Private strips

Mountain or rural airports without ATC

Backup orientation lighting during night ops

ArrowBeacon™ Standard
