RVR Tab
RVR* shows runway information from all airports using a 12/24 hour time setting. Airport Summary shows tabular and graphical details on each runway as well as the runway number, visibility (touchdown, midpoint, roll-out), and lighting (edge and center). Each runway is shown in detail below the summary information and shows a time-line with visibility listed in hundreds of feet. See RVR (Runway Visual Range) for more information.
To See RVR
Right-click any airport and select Airport Summary from the Context menu.
To monitor a particular airport, click the Open Watch Window link below the summary. The "Watch" window can be kept open while the user performs other tasks.
Airports are color coded to show runway visibility range.
