As noted by Edmark, an operator's selection
of exterior lighting systems often
comes down to cost. " It starts and ends with
pricing and return on investment (ROI), " he
said. " Most customers are wanting a minimum
two-year ROI. "
North added, " Reducing or eliminating
maintenance involved in replacing bulbs
can offer significant cost savings. Replacing
traditional filament bulbs on a commercial
fleet is one of the top three aircraft maintenance
costs. "
Regardless of the technology, commercial
aircraft exterior lighting is subject to a host
of industry standards, emphasizes North,
including those " driven by Federal Aviation
Administration regulations, RTCA DO-160
and SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice
(ARP) guidelines. "
Going Green
As is the case across virtually every industry
today, the commercial aircraft industry is
implementing more sustainable business
practices and technologies.
To that end, North points out that modern
LED exterior lighting systems are
highly sustainable. " From an environmental
standpoint, the power savings that can be
achieved are massive, " he said.
" Sustainability is coming into focus, " said
Hessling. " We have operators in countries
like Denmark and Singapore which are
ahead of others and ask us how we are
improving our footprint year over year to
become more sustainable. In Europe, we
see this every day. "
Collins Aerospace has responded by
removing chrome contents from its coatings,
delivering a prolonged lifespan for
lighting systems and enhancing other
attributes of its LED lighting solutions to
improve their sustainability.
Intelligent Lighting,
Safer Flights
While sustainability is a concern for
operators, the industry remains primarily
focused on optimizing the performance of
exterior lighting systems.
For example, Oxley has worked with
many aircraft manufacturers to integrate
the lighting systems into aircraft Crew

Alerting Systems (CAS) to provide health
monitoring and any error reporting, according
to North.
To expand functionality for customers,
Collins Aerospace offers integrated LED
lighting systems driven by intelligent technologies.
" Our lights today are designed for
bad weather penetration and to increase
the visibility of what is in front of the pilot, "
said Hessling. " Bright light can overwhelm. "
Dana Troutman, engineering director for
Collins Aerospace, added, " We are working
a lot with artificial intelligence as a
diagnostic tool to improve the reliability,
Same-day turn instead of an 8-day turn - no problem.
When faced with a series of ULBs requiring a 2-day turn
time, I stepped into action and solved the issue with
time to spare. Aware of the customer's urgency to
expedite these parts, I arrived early, disassembled,
inspected and completed the overhaul testing process
within 7 hours - dramatically exceeding the customer's
expectations. It's not enough to meet customer
expectations. We are here to exceed them.
