Meteorological Sensors for Aviation Ground Use With air traffic volumes set to increase year on year airport operators are under increasing pressure to expand services whilst maintaining or improving safety and customer satisfaction. Many of the challenges this brings can be addressed by careful planning, adopting best practice and investment in new infrastructure and technology. However, the weather will always remain outside of our control with an ability to cause major disruption. Accepting that we cannot control the weather, having accurate information about current conditions is vital...

Ambient Light Sensor for RVR When calculating Runway Visual Range three pieces of information are required; visibility, ambient light level and runway light intensity. Whilst runway light intensity is often directly available to an integrated control system both visibility and ambient light levels must be measured at the runway. The ALS-2 ambient light sensor connects directly to VPF or SWS sensors providing visibility and ambient light measurements in a single data message. Airfield Installations Due to the wide variation in airfield size and complexity there is no standard configuration...

Thunderstorm (Lightning) Detection The BTD-300 Thunderstorm Detector is a standalone sensor that reliably detects the presence of all forms of lightning to a range of 83km, exceeding the requirements as described by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The unique quasi-electrostatic operating principle gives the detector a very low false alarm rate and the ability to warn of the risk of overhead lightning. Virtually maintenance free, the BTD-300 can operate with the supplied PC compatible display software, seamlessly integrate with other sophisticated airport weather monitoring...

BTD-300 Thunderstorm (Lightning) Detector Airport managers have a duty of care towards their staff, to protect them from the dangers associated with lightning activity. Often operating in open spaces and handling volatile liquids or expensive machinery these workers are normally some distance from any safe areas. Key airside operations like baggage handling and aircraft refuelling, for example, need time to make their operations safe. The ability of the BTD-300 to provide a warning of the threat of lightning activity in the immediate area provides operations managers with the time needed to...

Biral Visibility & Present Weather Sensors Airports vary in size and complexity from grass strips serving isolated communities to multi runway international hubs serving capital cities. Weather conditions will also vary with location, so it is important to offer a range of sensors to match the clients' requirements and budgets. The VPF Sensor Range The VPF range offers outstanding reliability and corrosion resistance combined with the most accurate measurements and greatest number of reported present weather codes. They have been proven in use over 20 years and remain at the forefront of...
