Question for NATS employees involved with SAMOS
Just curious, for those of you that use SAMOS when it doesn't report representative weather conditions do you edit the data prior to dissemination?
Here in the U.S., our version of SAMOS (called ASOS) frequently is left as-is by FAA ATC even though it isn't reporting anything near reality. It's a problem for me as a I frequently fly into airports (even larger class "C" airspace fields) where the METAR data is inaccurate or not representative.
I sometimes wonder if an accident will eventually be caused by inaccurate data.
