Surface Weather Observer Practice Test 2025 – Complete Exam Preparation

An RVR value of 600 feet indicates the runway visual range for runway 02 left, meaning that pilots can expect to see clearly up to 600 feet along the runway. The value is crucial for assessing runway visibility conditions, especially during low visibility situations such as fog, rain, or snow.

The correct option presents this information in the standard format used in aviation reports, where 'R' denotes the runway, followed by the runway number (02L) and the RVR value (0600FT).

Other choices do not accurately represent the RVR information. For instance, the option specifying '6000FT' significantly overestimates the visibility, which would not accurately reflect the dangerous conditions present at an RVR of 600 feet. The choice implying that the runway is closed does not relate to the visibility data of RVR, as a specific numerical reading indicates conditions rather than closure. Lastly, suggesting that 'R02L/600FT is optimal visibility' misrepresents the safety condition, as 600 feet does not reflect optimal visibility for runway operations, but rather a lower visibility situation that could necessitate specific operational procedures for landing and takeoff.
