Let’s first copy the introduction from Wikipedia:

“Automatic Terminal Information System (ATIS) is an automatically continuous broadcast information service at busy airports, usually broadcast on a separate radio frequency, including major flight-related information such as weather, active Runway, altimeter setting, and other information. Pilots typically listen to the broadcast before establishing contact with controllers and other units to understand the relevant situation, reducing the workload of controllers and preventing frequency congestion. Under normal circumstances, the broadcast is updated hourly, but can be updated at any time when weather changes rapidly, denoted sequentially by letter codes A, B, C…Z, read using the ICAO published standard letter pronunciation.”

For flight simulation, X-Plane can download the latest global weather information from the internet in real-time, and simulate wind direction, wind speed, and cloud conditions based on this information, allowing players to more realistically experience the joy of simulated flight.

However, after playing for a while, I always felt that the ATIS information in the software was slightly different from real life, so I did some research myself and wrote this learning summary.

First, I used my Aikemu portable radio receiver ICOM IC-R6 to listen to the ATIS broadcast at Haneda Airport. Then I recorded it, and after listening to it N times, I finally managed to transcribe it. rjtt_atis.m4a

“Tokyo International Airport，information Kilo，2130， ILS Zulu Runway 34L approach， Landing Runway 34L， Departure Runway 05 and 34R， Departure Frequency， 126.0 Runway05， 123.8 Runway34R Wind 180 degrees 6 knots， Direction variable between 160 and 230 degree， Visibility 9 km， Few 1 thousand 5 hundred cumulus，Bkn 14 thousands altocumulus Temperature 20, dewpoint 15 QNH 29.80 inches Advise you have information Kilo”

What it specifically means can basically be understood just by reading the text, so I won’t translate it into Chinese here, but it is still necessary to organize the grammar of the ATIS, as follows:
