We developed and tested specialized UV LED's with blinking profiles on low flying aircraft and measured avian responses. Our research demonstrated that these LED's enhance bird awareness, increasing the distance that birds begin to respond to an approaching aircraft, thereby helping them to avoid collisions.
Reported wildlife strikes were up 14% in the last year according to an FAA report "Wildlife Strikes to Civil Aircraft in the United States 1990-2024" released June 2025. They state that wildlife strikes are most likely to occur at landing, followed by flight departure. The least likely risk of bird strikes occur above 500 feet AGL but strikes over 500 feet were more likely to cause more damage than those below 500 feet. Unlike most deterrence systems, AVGuardian protects you and your aircraft on the ground at takeoff, while landing and during travel mid air.
The recommended models for general aviation aircraft are the AVGuardian 102GA and AVGuardian 103GA. The AVGuardian model 103GA is more powerful than the AVGuardian 102GA. The AV Guardian AT-100 is our highest performing model. This unit can be custom fitted to general aviation aircraft. Call us to discuss any questions about how it can fitted to your aircraft at 603-821-0991 or email us.
AVGuardian offers a variety of units to meet your needs. Our basic model, AVGuardian 102GA-14 and 102GA-28 are our most cost effective models for general aviation aircraft.
While both are designed for general aviation the main differences is in power. The 102GA model has a peak power of 5.0 Amps for the 12 volt electrical systems and 3.0 Amps for the 24 volt electrical systems. The 103GA model has a peak power of 5.5 Amps for the 12 volt electrical systems and 4.75 Amps for the 24 volt electrical systems. This means that the 103GA model is more powerful than the 102GA model.
Yes, it can. Most protection is needed during take off and landing and flying at low altitudes. The pilot is in full control of operating the AVGUardian.
AV Guardian 100-AT is designed as a retrofit for Air Tractor models 402, 502 and 802 but can also be custom mounted to general aircraft. You can contact us and we'd be happy to review all the details as they pertain to your aircraft. 603-821-0991
AVGuardian products are designed for easy solution for your aircraft when utilizing an existing inspection panel as the mounting point. The installation can be typically accomplished with a logbook sign-off as a minor alteration. Please note that additional FAA approval may be needed if it is determined to be a major alteration. For alternative mounting locations or different aircraft, consult your Designated Airworthiness Representative (DAR) or Designated Engineering Representative (DER).
Users must understand that NORSEE is considered secondary or non-essential to the required equipment. The FAA NORSEE approval of the AVGuardian models authorizes the manufacture to the design and performance requirements of FAA policy PS-AIR-21.8-1602.
Installation must be accomplished either as a minor alteration or major alteration substantiated by FAA approved data such as field approval, follow on STC or other form of FAA approved installation data.
NORSEE approval identifies this product as a minor installation for Part 23 aircraft. If a major installation is required on your aircraft, discuss with your FAA inspector.
