New temperature alert for Takeoff Forecast on AMIDS

HKO News Bulletin for the Aviation Community (38th Issue)

Starting in July 2017, the maximum temperature alert of takeoff condition for the next 2 hours has been extended into the next 3 hours on AMIDS. This was in response to a user request during the latest user satisfaction survey. The mini-display box changes its background colour to orange/red when the temperature within the alerting period (3 hours) is forecast to be over 31/34 degree Celsius respectively to remind users of possible impact to the aircraft maximum takeoff weight.
