DeVore Products Overview
Tel-Tail Aircraft Vertical Fin Stabilizer
Lighting Systems
DeVore designs and manufactures
vertical tail floodlights for almost every type of aircraft produced. Initially referred
to as "logo lights", TEL-TAIL lights are much more than that, providing
important visibility for other aircraft during ground and flight operations.
Helicopter Exterior Lighting Systems
DeVore's line of helicopter
lighting systems include the Tel-Tail rotor illumination light, Forward Facing Recognition
Lights (FFRLs), Main Rotor Illumination lights and Fuselage / Logo floodlights.
The first helicopter Tel-Tail rotor floodlight installation was on a Bell 206 in
1977. The system was instantly popular due to the obvious safety benefits
created by brilliantly illuminating the tail rotor at night
during ground operations. They also assist in visually tracking the
direction and speed of a helicopter in flight at night. Because they generally
travel outside traditional fixed-wing traffic patterns, the need for helicopters to
"see and be seen" is paramount.
As with the fixed wing aircraft mentioned above, DeVore tail rotor floodlights can be
found on most production helicopters, sold as either a factory standard (or option) or as
an after-market retrofit kit. Additionally, DeVore produces a line of fuselage floodlights
(traditionally used to illuminate EMS and television news logos) and Forward Facing
Recognition Lights (FFRLs) for many different helo applications.
All DeVore helicopter lighting kits come complete in every detail and are
ready to install. They include a copy of the STC, all required parts, drawings,
installation instructions and authorization(s) and are produced under FAA
PMA.
Pulse Light Approach Slope Indicator
The PLASI 2000 system is a visual
approach aid used at airports and heliports worldwide. PLASI units assist the pilot by
providing a light signal which indicates whether the aircraft is above, below or on
glide slope during it's approach to landing. Other PLASI units have been developed for
temporary installations, including a Mini-PLASI and an Infrared (IR) Mini-PLASI for
tactical operations.
Flash Measuring Gun
The FMG4400D was developed by
DeVore to meet a requirement set forth by the FAA to annually determine if an air
carrier's aircraft strobe lights still meet minimum intensity levels. These
"guns" are portable and easy to use, saving the airlines money and maintenance
hours while complying with the FAA's regulations.
Other Aircraft Lighting Systems
DeVore also manufactures and
distributes various internal and external lighting systems for airline, corporate and
general aviation aircraft. DeVore is the North American distributor for Anti-Collision
(strobe) lighting systems and Navigation Lights produced in Switzerland by Flight
Components.
