meteorological data for air traffic controller
automatic regulation of luminous intensity of airfield ground lighting equipment
Connection
serial lines RS-232 or TCP/IP
working site Meteo is connected via the LAN network
Representation
basic meteorological data are shown in the report “Airfield ground lighting” at the top part of the screen in meteorological ruler, this ruler contains a selection of the most important meteorological data
color shading gives to the air traffic controllers information about trend of the measured data, or about manually entered values
remaining meteorological data (among others also QFE) are in the data windows Metreport, which can be opened from the top bar
extended meteorological information is shown in the data window Meteo
it is possible to switch representation of meteorological in requested runway directions
tendency of the runway visual range is expressed by color shading of RVR, if the visual range is below 1500 m:
Yellow steady state
Red deteriorating state
Green improving state
System provides the following information
direction and strength of wind with max and min values
RVR if it is measured on RWY at corresponding number of measuring points
value BASE
VIS general visibility
QNH
WX
temperature
dew point
bottom base of clouds
Meteo information (RVR) is used for automatic control of luminous intensity of individual sets.
