F1 AWOS – FAA Certified
FAA-certified Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) providing continuous aviation weather measurement, processing, reporting and scalable sensor integration for non-federal airports.
Typical Applications
- FAA non-federal airport AWOS
- Airport aviation weather monitoring
- Continuous automated weather reporting
- NADIN-connected meteorological reporting
- Regional and general aviation airports
- Existing AWOS system upgrades
- Remote airport weather monitoring
- Airport weather safety infrastructure
The F1 AWOS FAA Certified Automated Weather Observing System provides continuous, aviation-grade airport weather measurement, processing and reporting for non-federal airports. Designed to meet FAA Advisory Circular 150/5220-16 requirements, F1 AWOS combines certified meteorological sensors, acquisition and communications hardware, operator terminals and FlexAWOS aviation weather display software to produce, log and distribute operational weather information. Its scalable architecture supports configurations from basic altimeter reporting through comprehensive visibility, cloud height, precipitation, present weather, lightning and freezing-rain monitoring.
Key Features
- FAA type-certified Automated Weather Observing System
- Meets FAA AC 150/5220-16 requirements
- Aviation-grade certified meteorological sensors
- FlexAWOS aviation weather display software
- Standalone and split-system configurations
- Multiple Operator Terminal support
- VHF radio and VoIP weather-information delivery
- Fiber, UHF, RS-485, DSL and cellular communication options
- Remote Maintenance Monitoring
- NADIN weather-reporting interface
- Expandable from basic to advanced AWOS configurations
- Upgrade path for existing airport AWOS installations
- One-hour ACU/CIU backup battery capability
F1 AWOS is designed so an airport can upgrade or expand an existing weather-observation installation instead of replacing the complete system, allowing additional certified sensors and higher AWOS reporting levels to be introduced as operational requirements grow.
