Question

If continuous RVR reporting is needed during airfield closure hours, EUs with AMOS systems will notify airfield leadership that the RVR system requires the runway lights to be left on to work properly. This is encouraged if the possibility exists for an emergency aircraft divert into the location. True or False?

Answer 1

The statement is true. RVR systems require runway lights to be left on during airfield closure hours to work properly, in case of emergency aircraft diversion.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is Business and the grade level is High School.

The statement provided is true. If continuous Runway Visual Range (RVR) reporting is necessary during airfield closure hours, Electronic Units (EUs) with AMOS (Automated Meteorological Observation System) systems will notify airfield leadership that the RVR system requires the runway lights to be left on in order to function properly. This is particularly important if there is a possibility of emergency aircraft diversion to the location.

For example, if an airfield is closed due to inclement weather but an emergency aircraft needs to land, the RVR system will provide real-time visibility information to assist the pilot. By keeping the runway lights on, the RVR system can accurately measure the visibility conditions, ensuring a safe landing for the emergency aircraft.
