7110.65: ATIS must include latest weather, and instrument approach and runway in use.
AC 120-57: ATIS should include initiation of SMGCS procedures.
FAA lists KAUS as an approved SMGCS airport.
While I was unable to locate the KAUS SMGCS plan, I did look through the SMGCS plans for KRIC and KSTL (publicly available). Both plans follow the template provided by AC 120-57. I assume the KAUS SMGCS plan is similar. I did not find anything in any of the SMGCS plans or AC 120-57 that would have favorably impacted the outcome of this incident.
I’m puzzled which procedures specific to “low visibility ops” would have prevented this incident.
