Departure ATIS
Why do some airports only have a 'departure' ATIS ? I once got a 'bollocking' from an instructor during a dual check for picking up the ATIS before requesting the rejoin. I was told I didn't need to as it was 'departure' ATIS.....? ATIS is ATIS.....isn't it?, especially when there is no 'arrival' ATIS.
Secondly, if an airport runway has multiple instrument approaches, ie. ILS30, VOR30, NDB30, in the UK how do you know which approach is in use? I would assume it would be broadcast with the ATIS?
