WHY WHY SUPERAWOSSUPERAWOS??• Provides Essential Services Pilots Expect
…But traditional AWOS cannot provide
• Greets ------------- inbound pilots• Advisory ---------- of runway to use• Radio Check ----- before takeoff• Traffic -------------- in the area?
Is the airport ‘open’ or ‘closed?’

WHY WHY ADVISORYADVISORY WIND? WIND?PILOTS HAVE PILOTS HAVE TWOTWO WIND QUESTIONS: WIND QUESTIONS:
QUESTION #1 “WHICH RUNWAY SHOULD I USE?”
“Winds from the north suggest using
the most northern facing runway”
QUESTION #2 “WHAT SURFACE CONDITIONS SHOULD I EXPECT?”
“Prepare for gusting cross-wind conditions
at the runway surface”
ONLY SUPERAWOS ANSWERS BOTH
AVERAGE WINDLIKE TRADITIONAL AWOS
REAL TIME WINDLIKE A WINDSOCK

AUTOMATED RADIO CHECKAUTOMATED RADIO CHECK
• A Pilot’s ONLY contact with the world IS BY RADIO
Before takeoff, the pilot MUST know if their aircraft radio is…Transmitting anything? Anything UNDERSTANDABLE?Receiving anything? Anything UNDERSTANDABLE?
– Pilots transmits a test message– Pilot receives ‘radio echo’ back of their own transmission
• Echo Radio Check Confirms
– Transmitter: POWER & MODULATION– Receiver: SENSITIVITY & CLARITY
![Page 15: SUPERAWOS AWOS AUTOMATED UNICOM. YOUR PILOTS NEED AWOS For flight requirements UNICOM For flight safety & service](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081514/56649ee75503460f94bf894c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
OTHER UNIQUE SAFETY FEATURESOTHER UNIQUE SAFETY FEATURES• PILOTS STAYING ON UNICOM CAN HEAR OTHER TRAFFIC
– Reduces chances of mid-air & runway incursion
• ALERTS PILOTS TO AREA TRAFFIC– Other air traffic in the area on unicom
• ADVISES CONDITIONS FAVORING A SPECIFIC RUNWAY– When wind & traffic conditions make it clear
• ADVISES PREFERRED CALM WIND RUNWAY– When wind & traffic conditions allow
• WARNS DENSITY ALTITUDE WHEN CRITICAL– When critical to landing operations
And,– Added to radio check BEFORE takeoff
• ALERTS TO CRITICAL TEMPERATURE• When surface freezing likely

REQUIREMENTS FOR AUTOMATED UNICOMREQUIREMENTS FOR AUTOMATED UNICOM
WHAT IS ‘ADAPTIVE?’– SYSTEM MUST PRIORITIZE WHAT IT TRANSMITS
Based on Constantly Changing conditions - from second to second– Frequency congestion from many aircraft– What IS important to flight operations– What IS NOT important to flight operations
TO MINIMIZE INTRUSION ON ANY BUSY UNICOM
Automated UnicomMUST BE DYNAMICALLY ADAPTIVE
UNICOM IS TOO IMPORTANT TO CREATE NEEDLESS CONGESTION
