The helicopter system has a light mounted on the tail aimed at the tail rotor, where illumination from the light comprises ultraviolet light and the tail light flashes at a pre-determined frequency. The tail rotor preferably has a surface at least partially coated in fluorescent paint that shifts the ultraviolet light to light visible to humans such as violet light (e.g. 400-445 nm). The light is preferably mounted on a roundel having alternating fluorescent paint and reflective surfaces. The lighting system can also have a main rotor light and a belly light mounted on roundels.
