ARV provides controllers with visual and audible alerts if an approaching aircraft is lined up to land on the wrong airport surface, or even the wrong airport.
The FAA recently announced the launch of a new surface safety tool, called Approach Runway Verification (ARV), at air traffic control towers across the nation to improve safety at airports.

ARV is currently installed the following facilities:
- Austin (AUS)
- Lincoln Tower (LNK)

- Lansing (LAN)
- DuPage (DPA)
- Chicago Executive (PWK)

ARV will be deployed at other facilities across the US throughout the rest of the year and into 2025.
