According to ICAO standards, precise RVR assessments are mandatory when visibility falls below 800 meters. Reporting ranges from below 50 m to 2000 m across touchdown, midpoint, and endpoint zones of runways. Historically assessed by human observers estimating light counts along runways, modern technology now allows more sophisticated automated sensing technologies.
Modern RVR systems use sensor technology involving MOR measurements through transmissometers or forward scatter sensors. Transmissometers offer precise readings but are more expensive than forward scatter sensors which require only one mast and are easier to install.
Sensor placement is critical: ICAO recommends placing them at touchdown points where pilots make landing decisions; midpoints assessing runway conditions; endpoints ensuring full coverage during departures and landings. Proper integration with lighting systems helps align sensor data with ATC requirements.
Data accessibility ensures that stakeholders receive timely information. Real-time one-minute average values displayed on dedicated screens help relay critical information to pilots while integrating meteorological platforms automates consistent reporting.
Routine maintenance keeps these systems operationally reliable through regular cleaning, calibration updates, firmware enhancements according to ICAO guidelines emphasizing multiple sensors deployment backed by redundant computing units preventing disruptions during failures.
Costa Rica's Juan Santamaría International Airport exemplifies successful implementation amid high humidity reducing visibility drastically during rainy seasons previously relying on human observations now supplemented by automated transmissometer-based systems improving efficiency overall.
