5.8.1.Remote aerodrome ATS equipment used for MET observation purposes

5.8.1. Remote aerodrome ATS equipment used for MET observation purposes Meteorological service is not an ATS task; it falls, therefore, outside the scope of remote aerodrome ATS. Whether remote tower equipment is usable for MET observation purposes depends on local legislation, requirements and actual implemented system configuration. Local requirements apply also to the MET observer role of ATCO/AFISO. However, if local legislation allows the use of remote aerodrome ATS equipment for MET observation purposes, then the requirements stemming from this intended utilisation mode shall be included in the specification, set-up, verification and certification of the implemented system. The remote aerodrome ATS equipment that is primarily affected by this utilisation mode is the visual surveillance system detailed in Section 5.2. All aspects listed in that section should be considered for MET observation as well if the system is intended for such use.
