SuperAWOS Pilot Controlled AWOS

The duck is on duty at Inyokern Airport 24/7. Give him a call on 122.80.

Inyokern airport now offers 24-hour weather information to pilots! The new state-of-the-art SuperAWOS pilot-controlled AWOS provides arriving and departing pilots with up-to-the-minute wind, altimeter, temperature, and density altitude information on the Inyokern Airport Unicom frequency (122.80 Mhz).

Super AWOS functions include:

GREETS INBOUND PILOTS – Inbound Pilots' calls to a quiet frequency will be greeted by an advisory, plus an announcement telling of the system's presence and how to use it. As the frequency gets busier this message shortens to a greeting with instructions, becoming less and less apparent until disappearing entirely, automatically adapting to the congestion on the unicom frequency. The airport manager can even adjust this feature to local pilot preferences.

SuperAWOS at Inyokern Airport

ADVISORY ADAPTED TO FLIGHT CONDITIONS & FREQUENCY CONGESTION - 3 Clicks will trigger an airport advisory having only the most pertinent information, adapting the timing and content of its transmissions to the relative importance of each parameter and level of unicom frequency congestion.

COMPLETE ADVISORY ON REQUEST - 3 additional clicks after the basic advisory will give you all the details, including all the information that may have been abbreviated in the basic advisory just given.

RADIO CHECK - 4 clicks will trigger the radio-check. When the system says to, simply transmit a brief message and it will then echo-transmit your own message back to you. You actually hear how your transmissions will sound to others, verifying power, clarity and reception, before you takeoff.
