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:
“The individual protests against the world, but he doesn’t get beyond protest, he is just a single protester. When he wants to be more than that, he has to counter power with power, he has to oppose the system with another system.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
