GUILLAUME LEMENTEC Posted December 31, 2019 at 01:03 PM Posted December 31, 2019 at 01:03 PM Hello I am looking for a web site or iPad App to be able to know the ATIS on the Airport before I log on the network: it is easier to prepare the flight with simbrief. Unfortunaly I didn't find any ! not in internet (vatspy for exemple) and not in an iPad : I try severals apps (vatnet,etc) or internet webpage and there is no atis or it is empty. Is it because some atis are voice only ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Shearman Jr Posted December 31, 2019 at 01:58 PM Posted December 31, 2019 at 01:58 PM No, it's because the interface between VATSIM ATIS and the server that publishes data to apps like VAT-Spy tends to crash a lot. My process is generally to [Mod - Happy Thoughts]emble the route I want via tools like FlightAware and SimBrief, but then connect to the network and modify it as needed based on active runways. Often times, you actually won't know for certain what approach and runway [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ignment you're getting at your destination until you are starting your descent there! So, while preparation is great, the ability to adapt your plan to changing circomestances is a valuable skill to practice. Cheers, -R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Fuchs Posted December 31, 2019 at 02:02 PM Posted December 31, 2019 at 02:02 PM Hi Guillaume, normally this is possible, but currently the VATSIM Data Feed is broken and is missing the ATIS-information, that's very unfortunate. In the meantime you'll have to either guess the runway in use through METAR and TAF or logon to VATSIM and then request the Text-ATIS of the desired airport, if available. A third solution would be to check the flightplans of current flights out of and into the airport-pair that you are going to use, our radar programs normally (but not always) modify the flightplan routes and insert this information. By the way, during your planning phase you only plan what you think will happen. For deviations from these plans your required fuel contains the so called "Contingency Fuel" that normally amounts 3% to 5% of your trip fuel. Don't worry, you'll always have enough fuel on board even if y Cheers, Andreas Member of VATSIM GermanyMy real flying on InstagramMy Twitch streams of VATSIM flights and ATC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas Fuchs Posted December 31, 2019 at 05:03 PM Posted December 31, 2019 at 05:03 PM You can also check flightradar24.com. ...but that has nothing to do with how airports operate on VATSIM.
