IFIS (external link) Example of an ATIS Report Height at which the phenomena was observed: Flight Level 155Īerodrome Terminal Information Service ( ATIS) reports are aerodrome take-off and landing reports provided by Air Traffic Services on discrete frequencies at most attended aerodromes.ĪTIS reports include runway in use, wind direction in degrees magnetic, wind speed in knots, visibility, including significant directional variations (if available RVR will be used when visibility is less than 1500), present weather (if significant), low cloud (if significant) (cloud height/base in feet above aerodrome level), temperature, dew point and QNH.Īdditional items will also be included when available, such as reported turbulence and reported or forecast wind at 2000 ft.ĪTIS reports are for preflight and inflight use and are available from: Location of observation: At waypoint BIDEL NZDN-NZCH: Route (Dunedin to Christchurch) AT76: Type of aircraft (ATR 72-600) NZM742: aircraft identification (airline code and flight number) Message header (UAPS61), originating centre of the message (NZKL – Wellington Meteorological Office) and the date-time when the message was disseminated (1943 UTC on the 4th of the month). National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) - (a routine air report), AIREP Special (or ARS, a special air report), and PIREP (pilot report) are reports provided from an aircraft in flight.Īn AIREP is a routine report of meteorological conditions made from an aircraft in flight, while an AIREP Special is provided when hazardous meteorological conditions are encountered.Ī PIREP is similar to an AIREP Special and is an abbreviated AIREP Special provided by domestic operators in New Zealand whenever weather phenomena of significance or of a hazardous nature are encountered.ĪIREP, AIREP Special and PIREP are for use in-flight and are available from:Īirways (external link) Example of an AIREP Special Final and certified climate data can be accessed at the Therefore, these data are subject to revision.
