MALMS Mobile Overview

Using a mobile photometric test system as part of a preventative maintenance strategy is the only way to achieve the runway serviceability requirements specified in national and international standards for beam intensity and orientation (ICAO Annex 14, EASA, FAA AC 150/5345-46)

MALMS Mobile Photometric Test System measures airfield lighting performance against the criteria for beam intensity and orientation defined in ICAO Annex 14. It is therefore suitable to confirm compliance with National and International Standards. Mobile also provides information to identify problems, develop maintenance strategies and produce work schedules and maintenance reports.

MALMS Mobile Photometric Test System is widely recognised as the best photometric measurement system available. A policy of continual development is designed to ensure that this leading position is maintained. The following advantages identify the key factors that make this possible.

Regulations state that for a precision approach runway, lighting systems should be measured using a mobile unit of sufficient accuracy to analyse the characteristics of individual lights. Most importantly, the accurate calculation of IRVR (required to determine whether it is safe to land and how many aircraft can be landed safely per hour) is reliant upon runway lighting operating effectively.

The MALMS Mobile Photometric Test System also provides information to identify problems, develop maintenance strategies and produce work schedules and maintenance reports and is widely recognized as the best photometric measurement system available. A policy of continual development is designed to ensure that this leading position is maintained.

The Facts

Why airports choose MALMS for photometric testing as part of their preventative maintenance

  • Accuracy: MALMS is designed to ensure accuracy and is independently tested to stringent UK CAA, US FAA and German TUV acceptance tests
  • Independent: Tailor Made Systems is an employee owned, independent photometric measurement company trusted by airports, their contractors, manufacturers, designers and regulators as the best system for testing AGL compliance
  • Rapid measurement: MALMS Mobile can survey at speeds in excess of 80km per hour i.e. 3000 meter runway centreline or edge (inset or elevated) of 200 lights takes less than 3 minutes to measure
  • Vehicle independent: MALMS Mobile can be used with any vehicle without modification because it is trailer mounted
  • Robust: Rugged design for the harsh airfield environment and can be set-up without the need for tools that could become FOD
  • Reliability: With many systems in use around the world, the system has demonstrated its reliability
  • Fault tolerant: Designed to prevent operator errors with many automatic monitoring and quality checks to ensure data integrity
  • Global Support: Inbuilt diagnostics, dedicated support function plus global agency network provide effective customer support
  • Easy to use: Single operator; no specialist training required
