Example of An ATIS System
Air Traffic Controllers who use an ATIS system need to make weather updates through software located on a host computer in the control tower. This user interface can receive weather data directly from an AWOS or ASOS system (see Automated airport weather station), through a network AFTN (see Aeronautical Fixed Telecommunication Network), or AMHS connection (see Aeronautical Message Handling System), or through templates within the software. ATIS systems use the weather data feed to process the data where it can then be fed to pilots in airplanes.

Famous quotes containing the word system:
“I need not say what match I would touch, what system endeavor to blow up; but as I love my life, I would side with the light, and let the dark earth roll from under me, calling my mother and my brother to follow.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
