RIMCAS stands for Runway Incursion Monitoring and Collision Avoidance System, is a tool that monitors runways for you and highlights aircrafts that are potentially on a collision course.

RIMCAS will change conflicting aircraft tag to a bright orange:

To use RIMCAS:

  • In the RIMCAS Menu -> CA Monitor menu, select all the runways that should be monitored by RIMCAS (meaning all departure and arrival runways, but not the ones used only for taxi or closed)
  • In the RIMCAS Menu -> CA Arrival menu, select all the runways that should be monitored by RIMCAS for arrivals (meaning all arrival runways)

When an aircraft approaches an arrival runway for landing, a small popup will appear like so:

The numbers on the left represent the numbers of seconds until the aircraft touches down. If an aircraft is on the runway, and an arrival is 30 seconds or less from landing, the aircraft will be highlighted in the list. The numbers of seconds displayed before landing can be changed by toggling the "Short timer" option in the RIMCAS Menu.
