Who relies on a Coastal Weather Station?

2

The United States President

Air Force One is based at Andrews Air Force base which is THREE air fields at once:

•The official Presidential field

• Air Force base

•Civilian airfield.

Coastal’s FMQ-19 is used for the official weather station.



3

The Space Shuttle

• NASA had Coastal create a “SUPER” aviation weather station which has a completely redundant back-up system operating in tandem with the primary system to assist in guiding the Space Shuttle in for a safe landing.



4

Hurricane Katrina Survivors

•Coastal had the only surviving operating weather stations in the Katrina impact area.

•Coastal Environmental weather stations guided relief flights landing at Keesler Air Base for Hurricane Katrina relief.



5

THE South Pole Pilots

• Working with the U.S. Navy and the NSF (National Science Foundation) Coastal was able to modify our system to be the first ever aviation weather station to survive and operate at The South Pole Station.

• It was the first time that automated weather for aviation support and safety was ever available there. (It gets as cold as -90 degrees!)



6

The United States Air Force

•The U.S. Air Force has over 100 aviation weather stations built, installed and maintained by Coastal.

•U.S. Air Bases are located around the world: USA, England, Germany, Korea, Japan, Afghanistan, Middle East, South America and other locations.



7

The FAA (Federal Aviation

Administration)

• The FAA purchased 289 Aviation Weather Stations for All Class C airports in the USA

• The stations measure: Winds (all parameters), Pressure/Altimeter, Temperature, Humidity/Dew Point, and have room for expansion


AWOS – What is it?

8


AWOS – What is it?Aviation Weather Observing System

• AWOS systems consist of 1, 2 or 3 groups of sensors per runway

• Whether you choose 1, 2 or 3 is based on the level of service and size of your airfield

• Typically there is one Primary sensor group at the primary touchdown end of the runway

– If two groups, then a smaller set of sensors at the roll-out end

– If three groups, then an even smaller set of sensors at centerfield

• Multiple runways may require multiple 2nd and 3rd groups, but not another primary group

9


Coastal AWOS

10


AWOS – Primary Group• A primary group can consist of some or all of the following:

– FDCU: Field Data Collection Unit. These electronics ingest all the data from the sensors and communicate that data to the Server in the tower or weather office.

– Wind Speed and Direction– Temperature and Humidity (DEW POINT is calculated)

– Pressure/Altimeter – usually 1,2 or 3 sensors for redundancy (QFE, QFF and QNH are calculated)

– Visibility and RVR (Runway Visual Range; the field should have lights)

– Cloud Height (sky coverage calculated)

– Precipitation Identification (sometimes called “Present Weather”)

– Lightning/Thunderstorm Detection– Precipitation Amount– Freezing Rain – Ambient Light Sensor (if calculating RVR)– RLIM (Runway Light Intensity Monitor – for RVR) This sensor is located in the

lighting vault where the runway lights get their power. 11


AWOS – Secondary Group

• A secondary group can consist of some or all of the following:


– Wind Speed and Direction

– Visibility/RVR

– Cloud Height (sky coverage calculated)

– The other sensors are not duplicated in this group because it is assumed that their measurements will be the same as the Primary group.

12


AWOS – Mid-Field Group

• A mid-field group can consist of some or all of the following:


– Wind Speed and Direction

– Visibility/RVR

– The other sensors are not duplicated in this group because it is assumed that their measurements will be the same as the Primary group.

• Coastal does not manufacture ANY sensors – so we are free to:

– Choose the best in all the WORLD– Choose any sensors you WISH to use– Select the BEST VALUE sensors for you

Best Value considers: accuracy, reliability (MTBF) durability, ease of use and maintenance (MTTR), lifetime performance AND price
