What happens during LVOP (Low Visibility Operation Plan)?

During Low Visibility Operation Plans (LVOP), one of the main objectives is to enhance safety when visibility conditions are poor, which can significantly impact the ability of operators to see both their surroundings and potential hazards. As a result, the plan emphasizes minimizing vehicle movement on the aprons. This is crucial because increased vehicle movement in low visibility can lead to accidents and disruptions, as drivers and ground personnel may not be able to see other vehicles, equipment, or personnel clearly. By limiting vehicle operations, the LVOP reduces risks and helps ensure that any necessary movements are carried out in a more controlled and safe manner.

Normal vehicle movement, engine run-ups, and continuing operations as usual on the apron would negate the purpose of the LVOP, which is designed specifically to address safety concerns during challenging weather conditions. Hence, minimizing vehicle movement aligns with the protocol intended to maintain safety standards in low visibility situations.
