RVR stands for?

• A. Runway Visual Range
• B. Runway Visibility Range
• C. Range Visual Runway
• D. Reading Visual Range

Answer: (A)

RVR focuses on how far a pilot can see along a specific runway, which is crucial for safe landings and takeoffs in low-visibility conditions. It’s measured using sensors placed along the runway that report the visual range from the touchdown zone outward, usually in meters. The standard expansion is Runway Visual Range, reflecting that it’s the visual reach specific to that runway. The other phrasings don’t match the established aviation term, either by swapping words or using a wording that isn’t used in flight operations. Understanding RVR helps determine if a runway is usable for landing or takeoff under current visibility.
