An eye-safe slant visual range measuring device is presented. It comprises an eye-safe cloud ceilograph connected to a lidar receiver. The system was installed at Munich-Riem airport. Measured values of standard slant visibility in the final approach region were transferred to a computer system. The slant visibility range (SVR) was calculated by using additional information on sky brightness and lamp intensity. The computed values of SVR, and runway visual range were transmitted by air traffic control to approaching aircraft. No improvement of visibility is ascertained, but this may be due to the short duration of the field test.
