yes it is BHX that is trialing this, all comments greatly appreciated so thanks for taking the time to reply.
many pilots on the frequency today (pressure 1012) were asking if we were aware that the low pressure message was still on the atis, at the moment it is put on the atis for any pressure below 1013 which is when we start to lost separation between FL and altitude.
I can see that it will easily become a bit of the atis that is ignored if it is on too regularly, would pressures of less than 1004 be better than anything below 1013?
yes it is the last thing that you will hear, unless another message has to be voice recorded rather than the computer generated messages. I'll certainly pass it on to my ATSA colleagues to try and get them to ensure its at the end of the message.
also would it help if the UK had a standard transition Altitude? i know most of the LTMA ( if not all of it) is the same, is Birmingham alone in using 4000ft?
cheers!!
