VOLMET BROADCASTS IN THE HIGH FREQUENCY BAND.

The VOLMET broadcasts that we have spoken of, so far, are transmitted in the VHF band. However, VOLMETS are also broadcast, all over the world, in the High Frequency (HF) band, typically between 3 to 20 MHz. A selection of HF VOLMET is depicted in Figure 23.3.

Figure 23.3 International HF VOLMET Broadcasts.

The Shannon VOLMET, shown in Figure 23.3, is a vital source of weather information for North Atlantic flight routes.

The types of VOLMETs listed in Figure 23.3 contain the same information as the VOLMETs for mainland United Kingdom, although they are more likely also to contain additional weather forecast details, such as SIGMETS for en-route weather.

VOLMET transmissions are designed to be simple and easily understood, so that fast, efficient weather briefing can be obtained by pilots in flight.

During pre-flight planning, note down the VOLMET frequencies for the areas that you will be flying in, so that, en-route, you can listen to broadcasts for aerodromes in the vicinity of your destination, as well as for alternate aerodromes.

Access to VOLMET broadcasts enables the pilot to confirm that weather conditions at his destination airfield are favourable. If a diversion becomes necessary, the current suitability of the planned diversion airfield can also be rapidly determined.

INTRODUCTION.

The Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS) is a continuous broadcast of current aerodrome weather and other aerodrome information.

The purpose of theATIS is to improve controller effectiveness and to reduce congestion on busy ground, tower and approach frequencies by automatically transmitting on a discrete VHF radio frequency.

Pilots departing from or arriving at aerodromes which offer ATIS are encouraged to listen to the ATIS broadcast and to notify air traffic control, on initial contact, that they have received the ATIS broadcast, by passing the phonetic alphabet code letter by which all ATIS broadcasts are identified.

At some aerodromes there will be separate ATIS broadcasts for departure and arrival.

In order to free up air traffic VHF communication frequencies, some aerodromes transmit the ATIS information on the voice channel of a VOR beacon located at the aerodrome.

Figure 24.1a, below, is an extract from the Aerodrome section of the United Kingdom Aeronautical Information Publication (UK AIP) illustrating that both an arrival and departure ATIS is available, on different frequencies, at Manchester Airport.

The Automatic

Terminal Information

Service (ATIS)

is a continuous broadcast of current aerodrome weather and other aerodrome information.

Pilots are encouraged to

listen to ATIS broadcasts

before initial contact with Air Traffic Control, either on

departure from or arrival at an aerodrome.

ATIS is

generally broadcast

on VHF

communication frequencies but there are several airports where the ATIS is broadcast on the VOR frequency.

Figure 24.1a Manchester Airport has separate ATIS frequencies for arrival and departure.

The purpose

 

of ATIS is

 

to improve

 

controller

 

effectiveness and to reduce

 

congestion on busy ATC

 

frequencies.

Figure 24.1b is another extract from the UK AIP. This extract shows that, at Southampton Airport, the ATIS broadcast is made on the Southampton VOR frequency.

An ATIS broadcast

is up-dated as soon as

there is any change in the weather or airfield information. Each broadcast has a distinct identifying code letter.

Figure 24.1b Southampton Airport is an example of an airfield at which the ATIS is broadcast on the VOR frequency.

The surface wind

information given in the ATIS broadcast is referenced

to Magnetic North.

ATIS OPERATION.

If the current aerodrome weather conditions change, or if there is any change in other pertinent aerodrome information, the ATIS broadcast is immediately updated to reflect these changes. The updated ATIS broadcast is then given a new, sequential alphabetical code. For example, ATIS broadcast BRAVO will have replaced the previous ATIS broadcast ALPHA.

On initial contact withAirTraffic Control (ATC), a pilot is required to state the identifying letter code of the ATIS information last received, in order that ATC may know that the pilot has the most recent information.

ATIS will be broadcast in plain language and will contain some or all of the following information, if applicable.

Aerodrome name.

ATIS sequence designator or information code.

Time of observation.

Runway in use and status.

Surface wind in knots and referenced to magnetic north.

Visibility and Runway Visual Range (RVR).

Present weather.

Any essential aerodrome information pertinent to flight operations.

USE OF ATIS.

On departure from an aerodrome, ATIS information should be obtained by the pilot before initial contact with Air Traffic Control. When initial contact is made with Air Traffic Control, the pilot must mention the identifying letter of the ATIS broadcast obtained, in order to confirm to the controller that the latest airfield information has been received.

Figure 24.2 On depature, ATIS information should be obtained by a pilot before initial contact is made with Air Traffic Control.

C H A P T ER 2 4 : T H E A U T O M A T IC T ER M INA L INF O R M A

A pilot arriving at an aerodrome should also listen to the ATIS broadcast before transmitting on the aerodrome’s initial contact frequency. On hearing that a pilot has the latest ATIS information, an approach controller may omit, in his reply to the pilot, certain details contained in the ATIS broadcast. Normally, however, the aerodrome

QNH will always be confirmed by the controller.

Figure 24.3 On arriving at an aerodrome, a pilot should obtain the latest ATIS information before making initial contact with Approach.

If a pilot does not acknowledge receipt of the latest ATIS broadcast on initial contact with an aerodrome controller, the controller will pass the essential aerodrome information to the pilot.

Obtaining the latest ATIS information helps ensure that radio transmissions between

Air Traffic Control and the pilot are kept to a minimum. This is especially important in busy airspace where radio transmissions must be kept short to allow for effective communication between controllers and all the aircraft to which they are giving a service.
