ON TIME. ON TRACK. HMI'S AVIATION SERVICES ARE THE BRIGHT CHOICE.
Since 1975, America's airports have entrusted HMI with the installation of crucial navigation systems and more. HMI provides the following services for commercial and military airports across the nation, including Chicago-O'Hare, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Duluth, Milwaukee, Cleveland, and other connecting points across the country. AIRPORT APPROACH LIGHTING SYSTEMS (ALS) ALS is a highly complex lighting system designed to significantly enhance the safety of aircraft operations, installed on the approach end of an airport runway and consisting of a series of lightbars, strobe lights, or a combination of the two that extends outward from the runway end. ALS usually serves a runway that has an instrument approach procedure (IAP) associated with it and allows the pilot to visually identify the runway environment and align the aircraft with the runway upon arriving at a prescribed point on an approach.

AIRCRAFT ARRESTING SYSTEMS Land-based military airfields operating fighter or jet trainer aircraft use arresting gear systems, although they are not required for all landings. Instead, they are used for landing aircraft on short or temporary runways, or for emergencies involving brake failure, steering problems or other situations in which using the full length of the runway is not possible or safe. See some examples of our extensive work here. NAVIGATION SYSTEMS The ILS has been the mainstay of landing navigation aids for well over 50 years. The modernized versions used by the FAA provide aircraft with precision vertical and horizontal navigation guidance information during approach and landing. Associated Marker Beacons and/or Low Power Distance Measuring Equipment (LPDME) identify distance to the runway. The attractiveness of ILS lies in the economy of its avionics costs and its wide international acceptance. See some of our completed projects here.
ENGINEERING AND FABRICATION Many projects require additional engineering or design prior to commencing construction at the job site. HMI works with engineering firms and fabricators to keep the project on track. Our knowledge and input is a valuable asset during all phases of the construction process. AIRPORT SAFETY & TRAINING HMI began specializing in airport construction in 1975 and has serviced over 30 airports nationwide since then, from approach lighting to complex systems and service areas. We are accustomed to working with airport schedules, realizing air carrier flights, weather, and special events all may impact our projects. Regardless, we complete each project on time and with the highest concern for safety. Each employee is trained with knowledge about airfield communications and compliance with airfield security requirements. All of this is why we've never had an incursion or site accident in 40 years of service on our nation's airports.
