| + | The ILS visibility needs to be defined in relation to a reference airport and runway which you can specify here. | ||

| + | By default it uses the airport of the last approach in the [[features:position|Position]] module, but you can also take over your flight plan departure or arrival airport or defining any custom one. | ||
