4. HeliExperts International LLC - All Rights Reserved 4 PREMISE  Some heliports have been shown to have a high degree of magnetic interference associated with their locations.  This can be due to a large electrical consumer located in the vicinity of the heliport environment such as :  Ventilation Fan Motors  Elevator Motors  Magnetic Resonance Imaging Systems ( MRI )  Transformers  Other possible sources of magnetic interference can be associated with :  The iron reinforcement material ( Re - Bar ) used in the construction of the concrete for the heliport itself.  Large concentrations of electrical wiring.  Large concentrations of iron piping for water service or drainage.

21. LED ISSUE  Since the introduction of LED lighting into the market place it has been discovered that while they are readily visible to the naked eye and can significantly reduce electrical consumption costs they may not be visible when using many makes or models Night Vision Devices.  NVGs typically use filters to block cockpit lighting from saturating the imaging system. This has the unintended effect in many cases of making LED lighting invisible to the wearer of the NVGs.  This is due in part to the fact that LED lights have a much narrower emission bandwidth but is also due to the fact that LED lights do not emit similar amounts of infrared energy as incandescent lights.  This can be an issue when using LED lights for marking hazards and obstructions or when using LED lights to communicate information such as the perimeter of a landing area.
