Automated Weather Observing System

The Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) operates continuously on

121.725 MHz

AWOS System             7FL6 Netlink

COMPLETE ADVISORY AVAILABLE WITH RADIO CHECK - tune to 121.725 MHz. The system will transmit a complete advisory followed by a "Radio Check". When the system says to, simply transmit a brief message and it will then echo-transmit your own message back to you. You actually hear how your transmissions will sound to others,verifying power, clarity and recption, before you takeoff.

NETLINK ACCESS TO FLIGHT CONDITIONS – Airport weather information can be provided on-line in graphical format from the Spruce Creek AWOS Netlink server at http://scwx.from-fl.com or click the web link on this page. The system provides a graphical depiction of wind direction relative to the runway, visibility and estimated ceiling, temperature and dew point spread and altimeter trend (barometric pressure trends for rough long range weather forecasting). The wind display features the airport runway on a compass card overlaid by an arrow showing wind direction and speed. This feature provides a good visual representation of crosswind component during take-off and landing.  The temperature and dew point display provides a good graphical representation of the possibility of obscure visibility for take-off and landing and the visibility and estimated ceiling display graphically depicts local flying conditions.
