I dont see pilots being allowed to access or use any of the cameras mounted on the aircraft, so how would they use cameras located around an airport?
Given the randomness and internet access around AUS, how reliable would the cams be anyways. When there is an outage, who is responsible? As soon as they put them up, they are responsible for them.

For winds, aircraft around the world use an anemometer at 10m, that is it. So, I cannot see a pilot using weather cams in flight planning, even the meteos who stare at this stuff 24/7 get it wrong...
