What is broadcast on an airport's Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS)?

Why: The FAA study guide states: "The Automated Terminal Information Service (ATIS) is a recording of the local weather conditions and other pertinent non-control information broadcast on a local frequency in a looped format... Important information is broadcast on ATIS including weather, runways in use, specific ATC procedures, and any airport construction activity that could affect taxi planning."

  • ATIS is a recorded, looped broadcast, not live two-way instructions — live instructions to individual aircraft come from the tower frequency, not ATIS.
  • Invents a wildlife-only purpose for ATIS; wildlife activity is not among the content items the source lists for ATIS broadcasts.
