Frangible Glide Path Mast

GLIDE PATH MAST DESIGN CRITERIA
ERCON Glide Path Masts have been developed to comply with the ICAO annex 14 Volume-I, for safe and precise aircraft landing and the most recent Frangibility stipulations Detailed in ICAO Aerodrome Design Manual Part6.
All ERCON Glide Path Masts are manufactured from glass fiber & special Polymeric Resin, Coated with a UV resistance PU coat that can be colored to any aviation specification. Each pole has a unique Frangibility by design and material construction system incorporated within the main mast which will break under the impact of an aircraft.
The Glide Path Antenna is attached to the mast by mean of a light weight mounting frame and can move in horizontal and vertical direction within standard range for antenna adjustment.
