Farid-ATIS is an aeronautical flight information service that automatically merges the current MET and ATC information on an airfield and converts it to voice using Text-to-Speech engines generate high quality human voices. This audio signal is then made available for distribution via VHF radio transmitter. Aircrews can tune into the correct radio frequency to hear the ATIS transmission, thus reducing controller–pilot radio chatter on initial contact.
Farid-ATIS can receive the Current MET Data from AFTN Service.
Farid-ATIS broadcast message is made up of weather information, runway serviceability and any other information considered necessary to maintain a safe ATC environment at an airport. The content of the message can be added or changed and updated every one-hour by receiving new arriving METAR/SPECI messages from AFTN Link or any time it is required by operator without any interrupt in playing message. The outgoing ATIS broadcast plays continuously.
Farid-ATIS service utilizes digitized human speech in the form of .WAV files played through a PC sound card. The system is made up of three standard network-connected PCs (Two hot redundant PCs as Server and one as Client) with interface Control unit as switch for radio transmission equipment and Hot Server. If no METAR/MET REPORT messages are available, Farid-ATIS can operate manually, with the ATIS Client operator entering all weather data via mouse and keyboard. User right management gives additional security.
Farid-ATIS can produce both METAR and SPECI report type of messages according to the ICAO Annex 3 15th edition requirements. Without changing the software, the system administrator can configure ATIS to ensure that changes in ICAO standards and aerodrome definitions are met.
