Advanced lightning protection
Lightning Manager monitors strikes as they approach, based on custom advisory and warning zones — up to 60 miles out is available as an additional purchase — represented by colored rings around your locations. When strikes occur within these zones, audio and visual alerts* are triggered. No need to constantly monitor for lightning — this tool does it for you. An all-clear notification can also be set up to let you know when the danger has passed. In addition, a countdown feature is included to show you when you can expect to receive an all-clear notification.
To help you better protect ground crews and ensure safer refueling and tarmac operations, our future lightning tool shows the threat level for lightning at your airport for the next hour, using a color-coded display.

Very accurate runway forecasts
Effective anti-icing programs require current and forecasted runway temperatures,
and we deliver with our optional RoadCast®
. It provides reliable, hourly frost
and ice forecasts and alerts for your runway. With it, you’ll know the percentage
chance of frost forming so you can adjust your chemical application rates.
Current observations from your Runway Weather Information Systems (RWIS)
can also be incorporated. View current and forecasted runway pavement
temperatures side-by-side with radar and local forecasts for smarter, more
effective runway maintenance decisions. For airports without RWIS, RoadCast
can still provide reliable hourly frost and ice pavement forecasts by incorporating
observed and forecasted local weather with your runway pavement profiles.
We can also now help monitor the health of your RWIS system and dispatch
crews with expanded quality control that incorporates sensor error codes.
