Runway Visual Range (RVR), as defined in Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Civil Aviation Publication (CAP) 168 as "The range over which the pilot of an aircraft on the centreline of a runway can see the runway surface markings or the lights delineating the runway or identifying its centreline". IRVR equipment provides an automated assessment of RVR. The automated method eliminates error and inconsistencies with human observation, whilst also allowing efficient operations.
Ageing IRVR equipment in service at Inverness Airport and Kirkwall Airport requires replacement to meet ongoing requirements and is the subject of this project.
The Air Traffic Management Strategy (ATMS) Programme will integrate Air Traffic Services (ATS) for many of the HIAL airports in a Combined Surveillance Centre (CSC) and modernise the management of service to deliver safe and effective air navigation. The CSC and supporting operation will utilise cutting edge technology and modern operational methods to improve business resilience, comply with evolving regulation and implement environmental improvements. Service delivery will also be undertaken in the Remote HIAL ATS Training and Contingency Centre (HATCC) which will serve as a redundant facility if the CSC is unavailable.
Remote service provision from the CSC will require standardised meteorological equipment across the service delivery sites. This project provides an opportunity to detail an option to procure additional systems to meet the ATMS Programme need, principally for new IRVR equipment to be installed at Stornoway, Dundee and Sumburgh Airports.
