Meeting Safety Standards at Hamburg Airport
A new guideline standardizes the assessment of runway conditions at airports. The international Global Reporting Format (ICAO GRF) helps pilots to better assess conditions on the runway. It will apply to airports around the world from November 4th. Hamburg Airport is the first German airport to meet the safety standard with an innovative solution from OTT HydroMet.
The airport managers have purchased a series of Lufft MARWIS mobile road weather sensors together with the specifically adjusted ViewMondo software. Dirk Behrens, Head of Aviation at Hamburg Airport, is very happy with the outcome: “The new reporting system gives pilots even more detailed information about the condition of the respective runways, so that takeoffs and landings can be optimally geared to this.”
