OK, Porco - I'll listen on the ATIS for the plus/minus in them
. If it has changed it is welcome. My info came from a LGW ATC sup after I requested copies of ATIS broadcasts following 'an event' a few years ago (late 90's).
Edit: While we are on the topic' - the UK AIC, I believe, defines 'severe' as a speed change of >15kts. My company (in 1997) were unable to confirm that a reported +/- 15kts was, as I believe, 2 x 'severe'. It was at about this point that the reports disappeared from the ATIS. What is the opinion on this aspect of 'severe', remembering that the OPS manual says 'Do not commence an approach'?
