Yes, that is technically possible (piece of cake really)

We could begin with something like

"Present wind Ettamoogah, RVR etc etc......."
followed by
"ATIS information Bravo........
.......you have received ATIS information Bravo" we could even use different voices if that would be desireable.

Hmmm... who can I lobby to get a change to Annex 11?

Now, back to our ATCO friends, what would be your opinion on such a scheme which is basically intrument readings outside the formal frame of the ATIS?

Also, for ATCOs just how do you interact with your ATIS systems? How do you make the changes and how do you check the changes have gone to air? Some clients ask for an 'ATIS workstation' which in our product displays the current broadcast and overlays current instrument readings over a schematic of the runways giving an easy visual of cross winds etc. Other clients dont want another keyboard, screen and mouse device in the tower, they just put the update components into a text message using their AFTN input or whatever then when the update is complete they get a printed copy and can go across the audio channel to monitor if they wish. How do you handle input from the met people? Thanks.
