at uncontrolled ASOS/AWOS airports than do the
controllers who may be located several miles away.
Controllers will rely on the pilot to determine the
current airport weather from the ASOS/AWOS. All
aircraft arriving or departing an ASOS/AWOS
equipped uncontrolled airport should monitor the
airport weather frequency to ascertain the status of
the airspace. Pilots in Class E airspace must be alert
for changing weather conditions which may affect the
status of the airspace from IFR/VFR. If ATC service
is required for IFR/SVFR approach/departure or
requested for VFR service, the pilot should advise the
controller that he/she has received the one
−
minute
weather and state his/her intentions.
EXAMPLE
−
“I have the (airport) one
−
minute weather, request an ILS
Runway 14 approach.”
