4.3.3 Local weather characteristics

Local weather/climate factors are other aspects to take into account when assessing the impact that the implementation of the concept may have on the aerodrome operations and/or ATS provision. The location of the aerodrome, such as proximity to sea/lake/river, altitude over (or under) mean sea level, proximity to mountains, etc. and the associated typical meteorological phenomena may affect the ATS provision. For low-visibility conditions, the use of technical enablers, such as visual hot spot cameras, could be used to support situational awareness and local low-visibility procedures (as would also be a possibility for conventional tower operations).
