ATIS when ATS is closed
Good morning,
In France, we have basically 2 types of messages to receive meteo information inside an aircraft:
- If the ATS (Air Traffic Services) is open, an ATC controler is here, he creates an ATIS message
- If the ATS is closed, ATC controler is not here, the weather station at the aerodrome provides a STAP message
The STAP message basically contains same meteorological informations than the ATIS message.
But unlike the ATIS message which is permanentely broadcasted, the STAP message is sent to the pilot upon his demand -> 3 OR 5 calls with his tranceiver.
My quesiton is the following:
What is the internationnal equivalent name for the "french" STAP message ?
Thanks you by advance for your help
