Details
The X-Marker is suitable for day, night, and adverse weather conditions. Its size and shape recognition are extraordinary, and its ease of deployment is exceptional.

Two 27-foot arms form the X-Marker’s “X” shape. Each arm has six white spot lights for high visibility. The flashing rate is adjustable. The “X” frame assembly can pivot from horizontal to completely vertical and beyond, with 90 degrees of rotation.

The large X-Marker “X” is distinguishable from other lighted visual devices used on airports. Pilots can see the bright flashing lights on the runway from 3 to 6 miles away, depending on environmental conditions. Pilots can distinguish the flashing light as an “X” at 2 miles, which provides ample opportunity to execute a safe missed approach.
