Super AWOS
This clever system has been installed at over 80 US airports, and you just might find yourself using it. So, it’s worth the time to learn about it.
Super AWOS serves General Aviation in five ways:
- It greets inbound pilots, informs them that it’s there and tells them how to use it.
- It provides complete advisories, including weather, traffic and runway information.
- It provides a two way radio check
- It offers weather information for preflight planning (online)
- It monitors 121.5 ELTs and reports to the USAF Rescue.
Note: you may not realize an airport has this equipment installed until you call on radio as it is not listed in the AFD/Flight Manual Supplement. (KREI airport does publish it)
