KuopioThe Low Visibility Procedures for Take-offs (LVPTO) procedure will be taken in force gradually as follows:
- RVR is 800 - 550 M
- RVR is less than 550 M
- Procedure will be in force when Touchdown zone (TDZ) or Midpoint or Stop End RVR-value falls below 550 M.
ATC will give the real RVR value(s) on frequency prior take-off or landing or whenever requested by the pilot.
