preparation of low visibility procedures (Prep LVP)
operation LVP
preparation of low visibility take-off (LVTO)
Description/Properties
system AMS performs control of parameters determined by the system for individual phases and it offers to bodies of air traffic control a possibility to acknowledge or cancel the proposed mode of operation
after declaration of LVP or LVTO the system checks operating ability of individual devices of aviation safety technics (hereinafter AST) designed for the given mode of operation and meteorological conditions
in case of AST change it degrades in depending on character of failure operation gradually from higher level to lower level, or directly to CAT I
in case meteorological conditions are changed with improving/deteriorating tendency it proposes to bodies of air traffic control change to the mode of operation, which corresponds to the current meteorological situation at the airport
System AMS displays in the text window under the meteorological ruler the following:
selected mode of operation corresponding to failure of AST
information, which is to be sent to the crew on board of the airplane
Control and monitoring of the following airport systems
control of airfield ground lighting (for runways and taxiways - AGL), including system BRITE II and stop bars
monitoring system for Low Visibility Procedures (LVP) and Low Visibility Take Off (LVTO)
radionavigation equipment and systems (ILS, DME, NDB)
radionavigation equipment En Route (VOR, DME)
electric power systems (EPS)
meteorological equipment (ME) - AWOS
