Conclusion
EIL Systems’s portable field lighting sets have been successfully tested in both critical and difficult scenarios: passenger rescue operations, runway and apron maintenance, post-accident operational recovery. Through the helicopter departments of the State Police and the Fire Brigade, the EIL Systems sets were subjected to burst stress generated by helicopter rotors, for use near heliports and preparation of occasional helipads.
