What happens to engine run-ups during LVOP?

During LVOP (Low Visibility Operations), engine run-ups for aircraft will not be approved for maintenance. This policy is in place primarily to enhance safety and minimize risks associated with decreased visibility conditions. Conducting engine run-ups could pose hazards to ground crew, other aircraft, and vehicles operating in the vicinity, as it involves operating engines at high power settings, which can create a greater chance for accidents or incidents.

Limitations on maintenance activities, including engine run-ups, are established to ensure that airport operations can continue smoothly and safely for all users. When visibility is low, prioritizing safety means restricting any activities that could lead to complications or increased risk in an already challenging situation.
