ATIS
The ATIS page allows the instructor to monitor the current ATIS voice message that
is available at the Reference Airport and any of the Airport/En Route Environment
airports (or simply Environment Airports) which are defined.
The selected reference airport ICAO code appears just below the AIRPORT tab. A
green REF flag next to the ICAO airport code indicates that this is the reference
airport.
There two modes for the ATIS Messages: Automatic and Manual.
The default mode under normal conditions is Automatic. In this mode the ATIS
messages for the Reference Airport and the Environment Airports are automatically
updated to reflect the current weather on the Environment page and the Airport/En
Route Environment page. Whenever a weather change is entered by the instructor in
these pages, the ATIS message for that airport is immediately updated to reflect this
change.
In Automatic mode, the ATIS voice message cannot be overridden and therefore all
the weather input buttons on the ATIS page are disabled or grayed out. However, all
the text next to these disabled or grayed out buttons is displayed in white, since the
values reflect the actual ATIS message. The order of the buttons and weather readouts
matches the ATIS message format for the selected airport. The format type, FAA or
ICAO, is displayed in the sub-title.
There are two buttons on the ATIS page that are never disabled or grayed out:
Approach and Remarks. This is so because these are not associated with the weather
on the Environment page for the airports. The user can, at any time:
•
Tap on either button
•
Make another selection
•
Tap on the Update Broadcast button
o
The current ATIS message will be updated to reflect the selections.
The Manual mode allows the instructor to override the ATIS message at a airport.
The Manual mode is enabled by tapping on the Manual button. Doing so enables all
the weather input buttons on the ATIS page. At this point the instructor can then
make new selections and Update Broadcast to activate the new messages.
