Longest ATIS Message in the World
Hi All!
In the spirit of 'constructive criticism' of this thread can I tackle the thorny subject of Dubai's lengthy ATIS? It starts off by saying ' Dubai International Airport, United Arab Emirates ATIS information __'. What's that all about? How's about 'Dubai information __'.
Of late I've heard a longwinded message about the fact that RVSM has been implemented also included. This is the ONLY ATIS message at any airport in the region that mentions this. Why the big fuss? After all, unless you've teleported to the field you'll have used RVSM on the way in OR maybe taken a glance at the notams prior to departure. It's only a computerised text message. Can't it be made more 'user-friendly'?
