RVR C position and orientation
Posted: Fri Jan 18, 2019 1:10 pm
Hi all,
I noticed that RVR C sensor out of CYVR is aimed backwards into the approach and is basically a reverse of the RVR A sensor.
Is this so that we as pilots can get a good idea of the distance at which we can expect to see the runway threshold from an approach since being able to see elements of the approach lighting is so important in continuing the approach for landing? What other useful information or impact on our decision making can we derive from RVR C?
Secondly, are ALL RVR C’s a reverse of RVR A?
Thanks!
