ATIS wind information, true or magnetic?
METAR, TAF, etc, wind information is given in reference to true north and wind info given by tower is given in reference to magnetic north.
Now I've been told by instructors at school that wind information given in ATIS is in reference to true north. Can it really be!? Doesn't make any sense to me, you'd obviously want the magnetic wind before landing or taking off.
Hope someone here can shed some light on this one.
