ATIS (1 of 3)

This page is selectable from the Master Index and Communications pages and allows you to manually control ATIS messages.

ATIS messages are automatically created for each airport according to the weather conditions selected for the airport. When the conditions at the airport are changed, the associated ATIS message is automatically updated, and its information letter is incremented.

NOTE: The ATIS messages will be displayed in US format for all airports in the USA and in ICAO format for all other airports.
