HeliTracker
HeliTracker is an advanced transponder tracking system for heliports and airports that automatically activates lighting within a 100 km detection zone using custom range and altitude settings. It also monitors collision zones with visual alerts and supports advanced filtering, including non-ADS-B OUT transponders.
HeliTacker
HeliTracker is an automated tracking and detection system designed for heliports. It continuously monitors the transponders of nearby aircraft and helicopters, automatically activating the lighting system when an aircraft is detected within a defined zone.
A revolution in heliport control.
HeliTracker brings a breakthrough to heliport management by acting as a secondary radar: it automatically detects approaching helicopters and activates the lighting system without pilot intervention. In addition, HeliTracker intelligently manages multiple simultaneous traffic situations, ensuring smooth, safe and efficient operations even on busy heliports.
Smart filtering, precise activation.
With HeliTracker, you can easily filter air traffic and adjust detection zones directly on the unit’s touchscreen. This allows you to include or exclude specific aircraft, ensuring that your helipad lighting is only activated when authorized or selected helicopters approach — providing precise, tailored control for your operations.
No onboard installation, full ground intelligence.
HeliTracker requires no special procedures or additional equipment on the helicopter. It directly receives and decodes transponder signals from your aircraft, using this data to automatically assist and guide you on your approach by activating lighting and managing helipad operations seamlessly.
HeliTracker is an automated tracking and detection system designed for heliports. It continuously monitors the transponders of nearby aircraft and helicopters, automatically activating the lighting system when an aircraft is detected within a defined zone. HeliTracker can detect traffic up to 100 km away, depending on the antenna position and terrain topology.
The system creates a “virtual cylinder” that defines the 3D detection zone, triggering the activation of the lighting when an aircraft enters this area. It offers transponder filtering options to control which aircraft will activate the lighting system based on their unique transponder address. Two filtering modes are available:
Inclusion Mode: The system is only activated for aircraft whose transponder addresses are listed in an “authorized addresses” list. If an aircraft address is not on this list, the system will not be activated.
Exclusivity Mode: The system works with all transponders except those listed in a “forbidden addresses” list. Aircraft on this list will not be able to activate the system.
HeliTracker supports transponders with or without ADS-B OUT functionality, although the absence of this feature may affect position accuracy. This system allows activation without any ground action or pilot intervention, making it safer than VHF activation via radio (PCL).
