Partners With Avmats To Provide High-Viz Lights

Aero-News has learned that corporate aircraft support and maintenance provider Avmats has combined forces with performance leader LoPresti aviation to deliver LoPresti Boom Beam lighting to the Hawker 700 Legacy Series bizjet.

"The Boom Beam fixes a critical business issue on the Hawker 800 series" said Todd Lohenry, Business Development Manager for LoPresti Aviation. "Our lighting is warranted for 5 years or 5,000 hours and is guaranteed never to burn through a Hawker lens cover –- the surface temperature on our lights is less than 40 degrees above ambient temperature."

LoPresti says the relative coolness of its lights eliminates a huge source of headaches for Hawker owners and pilots... but more importantly, the LoPresti lights also deliver 1.1 million candela on landing –- over 3 times the available light of stock Hawker lighting.

LoPresti Boom Beams are already standard on every Cirrus Design, Adam Aircraft and Lancair aircraft... and are a factory standard option on the Hawker 800 series.

While LoPresti owns the STC, Boom Beams for the 700 series are only available through Avmats. Avmats and LoPresti have entered into this exclusive agreement to provide a cost effective alternative for a state of the art upgrade to the 700 series aircraft.

"We're thrilled to be working with LoPresti and to be the sole source for the installation of Boom Beams for the 700 series" said Kevin Malutinok, Director of Business Development for Avmats, "The benefits of the Boom Beam are well known to Hawker pilots and we're happy to be the firm providing them to legacy Hawker owners."

Avmats believes that in many instances, installation of the Boom Beam could be coordinated with scheduled maintenance without additional down time. Depending on demand, additional STC's may be sought for earlier model Hawkers.
