AeroMET
Our purpose designed and built Airport Semi-Automatic Weather Observation Systems are presently installed at over 50 UK airports. This includes:
- large airports like Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted
- medium sized airports like Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Belfast
- small airports like Oxford and Swansea
- airfields, helipads and air support units like Redhill and Yorkshire Air Ambulance
Whatever the size of the airport we have a bespoke MET solution and the UK’s leading airport MET system engineering team in-house to support your needs. Our experts are ready to help you analyse your needs and the potential of your existing system before proposing a solution for an upgrade or a complete new system. We focus on providing a cost-effective solution that minimises your investment and long term cost for operating a reliable system.
Providing low cost, high quality systems to these locations is our key focus.
We normally supply:
Overview
Services: MET
Sensors: 1 x Wind, 1 x THP
Providing low cost, high quality systems to these locations is our key focus. We normally supply:
- One wind sensor of your choice connected to our METBox-Wind, Aviation Wind Display
- A barometer and air-temperature/-humidity sensor connected to our METBox-Air, Aviation Barometer and Dew Point Display
Overview
Services: MET, METAR
Sensors: 1 x Wind, 1 x THP
We provide cost effective solutions for small airports. We normally supply:
- Same as airfield with the following additions
- Computerised system for production of METAR (switchable between auto and semiautomatic mode) with a one-way interface to AFTN. A user interface on the same computer
Upgrades available: ATIS, ceilometer, weather and visibility sensor
Overview
Services: MET, METAR, ATIS, OPMET
Standby: Cold Standby System
Sensors: 2 x Wind, 2 x THP, 1 x Cloud, 1 x Visibility
For medium size airports we focus on reliability and recommend a cold standby solution for the computerised port of the system (i.e. two servers). The indoor equipment should be installed in a 19″ rack in the equipment room powered from an UPS. We normally supply:
- Single met-sensor field site with the full sensor suite
- Dual computer system with manual switchover
- Two way AFTN interface
- Two workstations
- Strip printer
- ATIS
Overview
Services: MET, METAR, ATIS, OPMET
Standby: Hot Standby System
Sensors: 2 x Wind, 2 x THP, 2 x Cloud, 2 x Visibility
For large airports we focus on both reliability and survivability. Hence a dual met-sensor site and a hot standby computer system with automatic switchover is the key. We normally supply:
- Same as medium size airport with the following additions
- Second met-sensor field site
- Automatic server switch over
- Additional workstations
