Was told by one of our ATCOs today that the civvy ATC bible states that ATIS winds should be passed as mag. This RAF station uses the true wind supplied by Met as does the RAF ATC school at Shawbury, not sure what happens at other UK bases but would assume they do the same. Not a real problem while flying in the UK but a chap could be caught out if he gets it wrong overseas.
