lighting reflections for wet, partially obscured lights for snow, or alternative effects.

X

X

8.b. ...........

Special weather representations which include:

8.b.1. ........

The sound, motion and visual effects of light, medium and heavy precipitation near a thunderstorm
on take-off, approach, and landings at and below an altitude of 2,000 ft (600 m) above the surface and within a radius of 10 sm (16 km) from the airport or helicopter landing area.

X

8.b.2. ........

surfaces.

X

8.c. ...........

In-cloud effects such as variable cloud density, speed cues and ambient changes .............................

X

X

8.d. ...........

The effect of multiple cloud layers representing few, scattered, broken and overcast conditions giving partial or complete obstruction of the ground scene.

X

X

8.e. ...........

Visibility and RVR measured in terms of distance. Visibility/RVR checked at 2,000 ft (600 m) above
the airport or helicopter landing area and at two heights below 2,000 ft with at least 500 ft of separation between the measurements. The measurements must be taken within a radius of 10 sm
(16 km) from the airport or helicopter landing area.
