LukeFF Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Right now it looks like ATIS reports are coming from somewhere like VATSIM. This is very suboptimal, as the number of ATIS reports they have online at any one time is far less than those available through other sources. Tried KMEM and KTPA tonight and both came back with no information - even though it's easy enough to pull up their current ATIS reports from other sources.

unhinged_aviator Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Are you referring to the EFB? Where did you find an ATIS report feature? Or did you mean a METAR? In which case, I believe it pulls data from SimBrief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ab145 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Not sure there is any other public ATIS source other than VATSIM and IVAO that can be fed into the sim directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one has a Navigraph subscription I'd assume that would/could be a source as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Navigraph only provides the ATIS if the corresponding VATSIM station is online. Maybe BeyondATC have something planned, but I'm not sure.

I have never seen that be the case. There has been many a time - just in the last week - where I have a real-world ATIS report from Navigraph in their Charts app but none from VATSIM.

Huh, seems US airports do have real world ATIS available on Navigraph. I rarely fly in the US, so wasn't aware of this feature. Just checked a couple of Random airports in the Europe and Asia, and they don't have it available. For this to work, I think navigraph needs to provide an API or some kind of interface for aircraft devs to pull the data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
