Claim:
1. A method for operating a categorization/degradation system of operating procedures for low visibility (LVP) of an airport runway, comprising the steps of: monitoring a status of all systems related to low visibility operations; presenting the status of all systems related to low visibility operations on a single screen; defining a category to the operation of the airport runway appropriate to weather conditions of the airport runway and all systems related to low visibility operations; automatically lowering the category of operation of the airport runway upon the detection of a degradation in a system essential to the operation of the airport runway in that category; manually increasing the category of operation of the airport runway, if weather conditions require, in response to an operator raising to a new category of operation subject to the status of the systems allowing said raise; manually lowering the category of operation of the airport runway, if weather conditions permit in response to the operator descending to the new category of operation; and switching between servers upon detection of a failure of one of the servers.
