RUNWAY VISUAL RANGE (RVR) It is the maximum distance at which the runway, or the specified lights or markers delineating it, can be seen from a position above a specified point on its center line.
RUNWAY VISUAL RANGE (RVR): The range over which the pilot of an aircraft on the center line of a runway can see the runway surface markings or the runway lights.
runway visual range—An instrumentally derived horizontal distance a pilot should see down the runway from the approach end; based on either the sighting of high intensity runway lights or on the visual contrast of other objects, ...
Runway Visual Range (RVR)- An instrumentally-derived value, based on standard calibrations, that represents the horizontal distance a pilot may see down the runway from the approach end.
Runway visual range (RVR) The maximum distance along the runway at which the runway lights are visible to a pilot at touchdown.
Designated (RVR) Runway: A designated runway by the FAA for reporting RVR (Runway Visual Range.)
Dissemination: To send a weather report.
Dew:Vapor which has condensed into water. Dew adds about 2+ inches of water throughout the year.
In aviation another term, Runway Visual Range (RVR) is also defined.
