    8. AWOS – What is it? 8

    9. AWOS – What is it? Aviation Weather Observing System AWOS systems consist of 1, 2 or 3 groups of sensors per runway Whether you choose 1, 2 or 3 is based on the level of service and size of your airfield Typically there is one Primary sensor group at the primary touchdown end of the runway If two groups, then a smaller set of sensors at the roll-out end If three groups, then an even smaller set of sensors at centerfield Multiple runways may require multiple 2nd and 3rd groups, but not another primary group 9

    10. Coastal AWOS 10

    11. AWOS – Primary Group A primary group can consist of some or all of the following: FDCU: Field Data Collection Unit. These electronics ingest all the data from the sensors and communicate that data to the Server in the tower or weather office. Wind Speed and Direction Temperature and Humidity (DEW POINT is calculated) Pressure/Altimeter – usually 1,2 or 3 sensors for redundancy (QFE, QFF and QNH are calculated) Visibility and RVR (Runway Visual Range; the field should have lights) Cloud Height (sky coverage calculated) Precipitation Identification (sometimes called “Present Weather”) Lightning/Thunderstorm Detection Precipitation Amount Freezing Rain Ambient Light Sensor (if calculating RVR) RLIM (Runway Light Intensity Monitor – for RVR) This sensor is located in the lighting vault where the runway lights get their power. 11

    12. AWOS – Secondary Group A secondary group can consist of some or all of the following: FDCU: Field Data Collection Unit. These electronics ingest all the data from the sensors and communicate that data to the Server in the tower or weather office. Wind Speed and Direction Visibility/RVR Cloud Height (sky coverage calculated) The other sensors are not duplicated in this group because it is assumed that their measurements will be the same as the Primary group. 12

    13. AWOS – Mid-Field Group A mid-field group can consist of some or all of the following: FDCU: Field Data Collection Unit. These electronics ingest all the data from the sensors and communicate that data to the Server in the tower or weather office. Wind Speed and Direction Visibility/RVR The other sensors are not duplicated in this group because it is assumed that their measurements will be the same as the Primary group. 13

    20. Coastal does not manufacture ANY sensors – so we are free to: Choose the best in all the WORLD Choose any sensors you WISH to use Select the BEST VALUE sensors for you Best Value considers: accuracy, reliability (MTBF) durability, ease of use and maintenance (MTTR), lifetime performance AND price 20

    21. Coastal AWOS 21

    22. The following sensors are Coastal’s current Best Value recommendations. Feel free to ask for other sensors for ANY reason! 22
