Compliance and Applications
• FAA type: L-854 Radio Receiver/Decoder, Air-to-ground, Type 1, Style A
• ETL Certified to: FAA AC 150/5345-49D
Our L-854 FM radio receiver/decoder is designed to provide pilots direct, unassisted air-to-ground control of airfield lighting systems. This field tunable radio allows pilots to activate airfield lighting with a series of 3, 5, or 7 microphone clicks in a 5 second period. An integrated selectable timer shuts airfield lights off after 1, 15, 30, or 60 minutes of illumination.
Our L-854 receiver is particularly useful for small to mid-sized airfields where continuous nighttime illumination is unnecessary and expensive. The unit is a virtual necessity for remote sites where the volume of air traffic or the availability of qualified on-site control personnel may be limited. Our rugged, solid state design will provide years of service and is the perfect replacement for aging “crystal” based units.
