Hi guys,apologies for not being able to use your native language as well as you use mine but, got to go to ESNZ for the first time and having had a quick look at the plates I notice that there is no ATIS for the field listed. Anybody with local knowledge (or just knowledge) as to how airfield data is obtained when inbound? Just speak to tower or is it available from another agency/

Thanks in advance, KY

When checking in with "sweden control" ask them nicely and they will get the info for you
Have a good flt

Hotel Charlie, thanks for the speedy reply. How's the weather in that part of sweden at the moment? Hoping for a clear day and some good views of all those lakes!!

In most rural airports in Sweden, the most up to date info is obtained from the tower. Sweden ctrl reads the latest METAR for you while tower has the most up to date knowledge. You usually check in early (sth like 40 miles out, when handed over from Sweden, assuming you're IFR) since there is no approach freq. of any kind.

Enjoy your flight!

You could always listen in on VOLMET 127,8.
