What occurs during RVOP (Reduced Visibility Operation Plan)?

During the Reduced Visibility Operation Plan (RVOP), signs and lights are activated for critical area signs. This activation serves to enhance safety and visibility for all airside operations in conditions of reduced visibility, such as fog or heavy precipitation. The critical area signs guide vehicle operators and aircraft on the movement areas, ensuring that safety protocols are adhered to even when visibility is compromised.

This operational protocol is vital because it helps maintain a structured and safe environment for air traffic as well as ground vehicles. While it may include specific restrictions or procedural adjustments, the primary purpose of RVOP is to provide clear indications of safe paths for navigation under challenging visibility conditions. The activation of these signs and lights contributes to maintaining operational integrity and reduces the risk of accidents during such scenarios.
