Aviation INTERCEPT® Brochure
Aviation INTERCEPT® (AI) is a web-based software for aviation weather reporting, integrating weather and RVR data from airport sensors. It supports data acquisition, processing, display, reporting, archiving, and distribution, adhering to ICAO, FAA, WMO, and FMH-1 standards. It generates reports like METAR, SPECI, and TAF.
User Access and Interface
AI does not require user licenses, allowing multiple users to access data via a web browser. It is compatible with Windows Vista 8 or higher, Windows Server 2008 or higher, or Linux. The interface includes tabs for User, Logs, Graph, and Help, offering functionalities such as password management, data logging, and graphical data representation.
Remote Maintenance and Security
Maintenance can be accessed remotely via VPN. User access requires encrypted login credentials, ensuring security.
Aviation Weather Algorithms
The software employs advanced algorithms compliant with aviation standards to convert sensor data into actionable information. These algorithms have been refined over a decade and tested against human observers for accuracy.
Data Displays
AI provides various data displays for different users, including Controller Data Display, Weather Observer Display, Runway Visual Range Display, and Lightning/Thunderstorm Display, each offering specific weather data insights.
Maintenance Dashboard
The maintenance dashboard visually assesses the system's state, using smart troubleshooting algorithms to identify issues. It includes alarms and warnings for data quality and system integrity.
Data Quality and Alerts
AI continuously checks data quality and allows users to set alerts for specific data changes. Alarms and warnings are logged and can be configured for remote monitoring.
Log Files and Online Help
AI generates log files for sensors, reports, maintenance, communication, and alerts. It includes online help and diagnostics tools for troubleshooting.
Conclusion
Aviation INTERCEPT® is a comprehensive solution for aviation weather reporting, offering robust data management, user-friendly interfaces, and reliable maintenance features.

No User Licenses Required Runway Visual Range (RVR) Data Display System Security User access to AI is through a web browser. All users must login with a valid username and password when they first access the URL for AI. AI uses Basic access authentication. The username and password are encrypted when sent to the server. Each subsequent call to the server also includes the username and password. Login credentials are stored within the application, not the browser. This means that when a user logs out the login credentials are gone and no user can get access without reentering valid credentials....

Weather Observer Data Displays Lightning/Thunderstorm Data Display Lightning/Thunderstorm Display The Lightning display reports lightning to 50 nm (200 nm optional). It displays lightning reported within 30 nautical miles of your airfield in a “target style” display that is divided into 8 sections (octants) and then sub-divided into 3 ranges. Lightning within a 5 mile radius is classified as “overhead”. Lightning between 5 and 10 miles is “vicinity”. Lightning beyond 10 miles to 30 mile is “lightning distant”. The display shows totals strikes within the last 15 minutes and can be updated every...
