Live field, NAVAID, and surface-condition status your whole operation works from.

Everyone needs the current picture, and current keeps changing

The active runway, whether it's open, and whether every NAVAID serving it is up can all change inside the same shift. The operations desk, the tower, and ARFF all need the answer as of right now, not the version relayed by radio an hour ago.

Multiply that across two runway ends, the ARFF response fleet, and whatever construction or personnel are on the airport. One accurate picture holds only if everyone is reading the same screen.

One status board, current for everyone reading it

  1. The active runway, front and center

    The active runway, open, suspended, or closed, and its FICON status are visible on the shared board. Field Conditions provides the detailed runway condition assessment.

  2. NAVAID status for both runway ends

    ILS, glideslope, localizer, and PAPI shown good or down for each end, so an outage is tied to the approach it affects, not buried in a general alert.

  3. ARFF Index and vehicle capability

    The board shows the airport’s ARFF Index and response vehicles, including overall readiness, water, foam, dry agent, and turret capability. Required and backup vehicles remain identifiable.

  4. Everything else, on the same screen

    Personnel currently on the airport, construction and closures, and any miscellaneous notice worth flagging, with current weather and active alerts across the top.

What it automates

One current answer, not several versions of it

Runway, NAVAID, and ARFF status live on the same screen operations, the tower, and ARFF all read from, so nobody's working off a version that's already stale.

An outage is visible the moment it's marked

NAVAID status updates the board immediately, tied to the specific runway end it serves, instead of waiting for a separate report to catch up.

Vehicle capability stays visible at handoff

The next shift sees the response fleet and its component readiness alongside the airport’s ARFF Index.

Straight answers

What shows up on the Airport Status board?

The configured board can show runway and FICON status, NAVAIDs for both runway ends, ARFF Index and vehicle capability, personnel, construction and closures, and current weather and alerts.

How current is the information on the board?

As current as the last update. The board reflects whatever the operations desk has entered, and everyone viewing it sees the same version at the same time. There's no separate copy to fall out of sync.

Does it break out NAVAID status by runway end?

Yes: ILS, glideslope, localizer, and PAPI status for each end separately, so an outage is tied to the specific approach it affects.

How does ARFF readiness work on the board?

The current civilian board shows the ARFF Index and individual response vehicles, including overall, water, foam, dry-agent, and turret readiness. The ARFF Compliance module holds the wider program records.
