RVR - Runway Visual Range
RVR is used as one of the main criteria for minima on instrument approaches, as in most cases a pilot must obtain visual reference of the runway to land an aircraft.
RVR - runway visual range, a horizontal measurement of visibility along a runway.
rwy - runway.
Rx - receiver.
RVR (Runway Visual Range) - RVR is horizontal visual range, not slant visual range. It is based on the measurement of a transmissometer made near the touchdown point of the instrument runway and is reported in hundreds of feet.
RVR: runway visual range.
SAFETYCOM: Frequency for use in certain circumstances by aircraft operating in the vicinity of UK aerodromes and landing sites that do not have a frequency assigned for communication. Introduced on 11 November 2004.
No RVR
Cat III mimima depend on Roll Out Control & Redundancy of the Autopilot.
Low visibility approaches are those in categories II and III.
MID RVR-
(See VISIBILITY.)
MILES-IN-TRAIL- A specified distance between aircraft, normally, in the same stratum associated with the same destination or route of flight.
Category I (CAT I) - An ILS facility providing operation down to a 200 foot decision height and an RVR of not less than 2,400 feet.
A transmissometer is a device that is used in determining runway visual range (RVR).
Runway Visual Range (RVR): The horizontal distance a pilot can see down the runway from the approach end; based on the sighting of either high intensity runway lights or the visual contrast of other targets, ...
