Thanks no_one ,

To be really useful though one would need a camera facing each end of each runway, or a 360 view. How many times have we seen blue sky along one cardinal and approaching storms on its reciprocal. We certainly wouldn't want to mislead pilots, and to augment the photo with Bureau of Meteorology radar images would be very helpful, but even those radars have limitations that are not publicly advertised.

Unfortunately all that "guaranteeing" just seems to drive up the cost of what essentially started off as a simple idea.

I still reckon we'll get the tech fully sorted eventually, as long as we keep pushing for a better way.
