ATIS (Automatic Terminal Information Service)

ATIS (Automatic Terminal Information Service) is a continuous broadcast system used at airports to provide pilots with essential weather and operational information for a specific airport. It includes details such as current weather conditions, wind speed and direction, visibility, runway information, and notices about any changes or hazards. By regularly updating and broadcasting this information, ATIS helps pilots plan their approaches and landings efficiently and safely before communicating with air traffic controllers, reducing communication workload and ensuring consistent information dissemination for safe airport operations.
