AVMATS and LoPresti team to tackle Hawker 700 lighting problem

By General Aviation News Staff · July 21, 2006 ·

AVMATS, which provides maintenance for corporate aircraft, has combined forces with LoPresti Aviation to deliver LoPresti Boom Beams to Hawker 700 Series “Legacy” aircraft. LoPresti Boom Beams are standard on every Cirrus Design, Adam Aircraft and Lancair aircraft and are a factory standard option on the Hawker 800 series.

“The Boom Beam fixes a critical issue on the Hawker 800 series,” said Todd Lohenry, business development manager for LoPresti Aviation. “Our lighting is warranted for five 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° above ambient temperature.”

This one feature eliminates a source of headaches for Hawker owners, but LoPresti Boom Beams also deliver 1.1 million candela on landing – over three times the available light of stock Hawker lighting, company officials say.

While LoPresti owns the STC, Boom Beams for the 700 series are only available through AVMATS.
