Adam Vianna 1159285 Posted August 20, 2014 at 08:32 PM Posted August 20, 2014 at 08:32 PM I've only gotten to use this program once so far but I'm really really liking it. I know it's not the most common notice to be put in an ATIS, but at least some mountain/high altitude airports put in an advisory to "check density altitude." I tried manually putting this in the Departure/Arrival notice(s) field but it messed up the approaches/runways output. Could you add this as a Dep/Arr flag? Thanks!

I've been using this at KLAS, which has the density altitude advisory, for months. I added "CHECK DENSITY ALT" to the NOTAMs text, which is where they put it, but that free text should work anywhere.

Adam Vianna 1159285 Posted August 20, 2014 at 09:08 PM Author Posted August 20, 2014 at 09:08 PM How exactly did it "mess up the approaches/runways output"? Whoops, should have been more specific. What seemed to happen is that vATIS would write out the whole runways in use block of text, insert "check density altitude" and then write out the runways in use block again. I was using the runway selection and approaches check boxes built into the vATIS window. Dhruv, thanks for the suggestion. When I listened to the rw Denver D-ATIS, I heard the notice before the NOTAMS section. I suppose it really doesn't make much difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted August 20, 2014 at 10:26 PM Board of Governors Posted August 20, 2014 at 10:26 PM Adam, are you sure it included the runways in use twice, or did it insert your density altitude NOTAM between runways in use and approaches in use. Sequence of NOTAM data was one of the issues I had during beta that was reported fixed. Don Desfosse Vice President, Operations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley Grafelman Posted August 20, 2014 at 11:15 PM Posted August 20, 2014 at 11:15 PM When I listened to the rw Denver D-ATIS, I heard the notice before the NOTAMS section. I suppose it really doesn't make much difference. +1 on both points there. FWIW, though, the .65 (2-9-3) does list it in part (a) just after the altimeter setting (which is before parts (e)/(f), the approaches/departure runways).

Adam Vianna 1159285 Posted August 22, 2014 at 09:07 PM Author Posted August 22, 2014 at 09:07 PM Alright, what happened today was that if I put the notice in the Departure/Arrival notices, vATIS inserts the notice between the landing runways and the departing runways.
