Description
The FTS 800 is a voltage-driven unidirectional approach light that identifies runway end, or
the acquisition of an active runway. It can be used as a simple runway end identifier light
(REIL) or as an addition to complete any number of approach light systems like MALSR,
MALSF, SSALSR, ALSF I and II for runway alignment and runway threshold marking.
The flashhead and power converter may be mounted together to form a single unit or
separately to adapt to specific terrain needs.
