Low visibility?No problem!
International airport by comprehensive AviMet RVR and Lima AviMet AWOS solution confidently expansion
Jorge Chavez international airport (Aeropuerto Internacional Jorge Chavez) or "Lima international airport (LIM) is located in Lima, Peru, along the northern coast, is at a stage of rapid growth.As Peru's main airport, in addition to carrying over 22 million passengers each year, and provide a large number of goods transport services, ongoing investment of $1.6 billion expansion project.
Expansion project will be fully operational in 2025, after the expansion of the LIM will be through a new, modern terminal, the second runway and new control tower, for its rising as high as 37 million passenger services, at the same time have the opportunity to upgrade to the automatic meteorological observation system (AWOS) in order to ensure safe and efficient operations at the airport.
Challenges of low visibility
Because of the special climate, Lima LIM by ICAO as CAT III airport.Almost never rain or snow, but from the Antarctic regions across the north of el nino airflow can cause inversion, lead to very low dense clouds.These clouds will significantly reduce the visibility, sometimes even just a few meters, this for aircraft take-off and landing a big hidden trouble.
In order to cope with the challenge of visibility and LIM has been using highly accurate instrument landing system insurance-linked securities (ILS), but the pilot and the crew to complete a special training to use the system correctly.CORPAC (Peru's civil aviation and air navigation service providers) decision during the expansion of the upgrade and expand the airport AWOS and skyriver system, to better support for a variety of weather conditions of operations at the airport.
Accurate insight into
CORPAC Morcom cooperation with visa to pull in the local partners for many years, Morcom more than a decade ago had been installed in the airport visa AviMet AWOS provided support.Given AviMet AWOS still can provide the original runway LIM with comprehensive and reliable real-time weather data, Morcom cooperation with CORPAC assessed the current technology, and recommend the suitable for upgrading scheme.
From the cloud to the ground reliable aviation weather system
Morcom is involved in many visa airline solutions, including AviMet AWOS, weather radar, the lightning system, and even a tsunami warning system.With rich experience, Morcom against two recommends the new runway AviMet AWOS and visa tensile AviMet runway visual range (RVR) systems, pilots and tower staff will provide timely and accurate information.Need of special note is, RVR provide insight into data can help the plane landed in low visibility conditions, without having to diverted to other airports.
Low visibility conditions, the safety of the operation solution
LIM, integrated solutions to support key operating decisions at the airport.AviMet AWOS based weather perception, including different standard measuring equipment: weather, humidity, wind speed and direction, temperature, etc.AviMet AWOS conforms to the requirement of ICAO and WMO on CAT III, because of its high performance, ease of use, and low operating costs under the industry's trust.
AviMet RVR system based on PC is approved by the FAA RVR system.As the core of airport RVR system, visa, atmospheric transmission instrument LT31 adopts excellent visibility technology, good performance, measurement accuracy is common runway visual range of visibility measurement equipment.Visa pull LM21s background brightness sensor as a complete function of the ambient light sensor, further perfect the RVR solution.
Two visa, cloud probe CL31 can provide reliable all-weather clouds and visibility measurement, while visa to pull forward scattering sensor can accurately detect the various forms of precipitation and rainfall.In addition to the main AviMet AWOS system for two runways, airport through the use of a visa to pull forward scattering technology also get a backup system, in order to try to improve the quality of the services provided by the airport.
To be prepared for the safe landing at any time
Jorge chavez's international airport has been prepared through a comprehensive, the interconnection of the weather, sensing solutions to cope with growing passenger traffic, no matter what impact the el nino, the solution can realize safe landing.As part of the AviMet RVR system, atmospheric transmission instrument LT31 from may reduce the visibility of the particles in the atmosphere, can guarantee in the key of low visibility condition and provide the accuracy of a variety of conditions.
It can automatically perform many key functions, in order to provide excellent accuracy, the normal operation of the long time and try to reduce maintenance requirements.AviMet AWOS, AviMet integration software and AviMet RVR system combination can make the airport a comprehensive understanding of the current situation, the pilot can accurately predict what will happen next, and flight safety and confidently.
"Airport expansion project is the partner, Peru Lima airport state and together we complete the project, is of great significance.The new runway will be fully operational in 2023, and our RVR system will provide safe operation support for important airport in Peru, it is very exciting."
Morcom International director Manuel Ojeda
