We Supply All Aerodrome Types
Whether you operate a major controlled airport or a remote outback landing strip, we have the right assembly for your situation.
Controlled Aerodromes
Major airports with an Air Traffic Controller. Requires assemblies fully compliant with CASA MOS 139 and Australian Standards - Illuminated (IWDI) or Non-Illuminated (WDI) depending on operation hours.
View IWDI Options ›Non-Controlled Aerodromes
Where the pilot and operator share safety responsibility. Our Standard or Heavy Duty WDI kits are popular here - robust, easy to install, and low maintenance.
View WDI Kits ›Remote Airstrips & Heliports
Outback stations, pastoral properties, and helicopter landing sites. A smaller HLS Windsock on a counter-weighted swivelling pole - no working at heights required for servicing.

Illuminated Wind Direction Indicators (IWDI)
Our "New Generation" IWDI solution was engineered from scratch to address the shortfalls of legacy systems. Lighter, easier to install, and built entirely from Stainless Steel - it's the modern choice for controlled aerodromes requiring 24-hour operation.
- 💡 Latest LED illumination technology - high intensity, low power, long life
- ↔ Approximately 50% lighter than legacy IWDI systems
- ⚙ Full Stainless Steel construction - years of trouble-free operation
- ⚡ Easier and faster to install than older systems
- ✓ Compliant with CASA and Australian Standards requirements for illuminated indicators
Purpose-Built for Remote Airstrips
Australia's remote aerodromes face challenges that most manufacturers never plan for - brutal UV, cyclonic winds, and no local maintenance support. Our remote airstrip assembly was designed specifically for these conditions.
- Counter-weighted swivelling pole - no working at heights for servicing
- CASA Standard or smaller HLS (2400mm x 600mm) Windsock
- 600mm or 900mm Diameter Stainless Steel frame with sealed bearings
- Base mounted on footings, cement pad, or movable concrete block
- Proven on pastoral and agricultural remote stations across Australia
