Aviation Windsocks 12 Foot

Description

Commercial & Aviation Windsocks  are available in two length sizes : 8 Foot and 12 Foot.

Designed to  continually perform in a predictable manner. The size of the opening that catches the wind is quite important. The  length of the windsock and the size of the exit diameter at the end of the windsock are important.

Ordering Windsocks

Two Things you need to knowWhen ordering Commercial & Aviation Windsocks.

1.  The length of the windsock

2.  The diameter of the opening of the windsock.

Commercial Windsocks, Colours and where they are used.

The reason two different colours are used at airports.   

1.    White – White windsocks are used as the primary wind indicator at airports, helipads or airfields.

Highly stable and chemical and UV resistant. White is a very visible colour and has the least problem with fade.

2.    Yellow – Yellow Windsocks are used as secondary wind indicators at airports, helipads or airfields.

The colour yellow is highly stable and chemical and UV resistant. It is a highly visibility colour and can be clearly seen from a distance.

What is the function of an Air Port Windsock

Warning :

The colours Orange, Pink and Red are difficult colours to stabilise. The ultra violet rays from the Sun quickly causes fading.

Aviation Windsocks, available in 8 Foot and 12 Foot lengths.

The 8′ Foot and the 12′ Foot Windsocks are available in White and Yellow.

Standard Duty Commercial Windsocks ..  They are active even in light wind conditions.

12 Foot Heavy Duty Windsocks are used at Airports,  Licensed Airstrips and Council Airstrips.

The “Primary” windsock should be White and all others Yellow in colour.

It is quite possible that there are several “Primary” windsocks at an airport, (one for each runway). Often there is one near the end of each runway.

Colour choice.

It is usually the colour that stands out the best.  Looking skyward Yellow stands out better against white clouds.

Both colours illuminate well with the 12 volt lighting option, as the materials used, have good fibre optic qualities.
