Balisor is a system of illuminated beacons for high voltage power lines using a cold-cathode low-pressure neon lamp, [1] used as an aircraft warning light. Description
More advanced modern aircraft replaces these with the integrated electronic Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System or Electronic Centralised Aircraft Monitor. An aviation annunciator panel will have a test switch to check for burned out lamps. Indicator lights are grouped together by their associated systems into various panels of lights. [1]
Aviation obstruction lighting is used to enhance the visibility of structures or fixed obstacles which may conflict with the safe navigation of aircraft. Obstruction lighting is commonly installed on towers, buildings, and even fences located in areas where aircraft may be operating at low altitudes.
Detailed view of a Beacon light on a Tu-154. Beacon lights are flashing red lights fitted on the top and bottom fuselage of an aircraft usually on larger passenger aircraft. Their purpose is to alert ground crew and other aircraft that an engine is starting up, running or shutting down, or that the aircraft is about to start moving.
Markers are often installed on overhead lines near airfields, or at river crossings where there is a possibility of float-equipped aircraft using the river. Some markers contain conductor marking lights or strobe lights to improve visibility at night or in fog. An overhead line obstruction warning marker near an airstrip.

The 2si 460 is a family of in-line twin-cylinder, two-stroke, single ignition, aircraft engines that were designed for ultralight aircraft. [1]The basic engine was originally designed and produced by ILO-Motorenwerke of Germany and was later acquired by the AMW Cuyuna Engine Company of Beaufort, South Carolina and marketed under the Cuyuna brand name.
Chosen to power the Falcon 2000 in 1990, the engine was also first run in May 1990, [1] and it was first flown on a Boeing 727 testbed on 31 August 1992. [2] The CFE738-1 made its inaugural flight on a Falcon 2000 prototype on March 4, 1993.
