They'll give them to you anyway, but sometimes there is other useful info in the ATIS broadcast (like which tower frequency is in use).
The issue with this is sometimes the handoff can be right at the edge of the zone and the ATIS messages are sometimes lengthy.Ĭ) Don't bother with ATIS and just get the winds and altimeter from tower. The annoying thing about this is the terminal frequency can be busy sometimes and you're adding extra verbiage when going off and coming back on their freq.ī) After the handoff from terminal to tower, take a minute to listen to ATIS before calling tower. What's the best way to get ATIS before this happens?Ī) Tell terminal you need to go off their means to get ATIS before you get there. Coming in to YXX though, I get handed off from Tml to Twr just before entering the control zone. No problem getting ATIS at YYJ, then clearance del, Gnd, Twr, and Tml through handoffs. So, let's say I'm flying from Victoria to Abbotsford. Now I find myself sometimes flying around Victoria and the lower mainland with only a single radio which doesn't have the capability to listen on the standby frequency, and I'd like to get your thoughts on getting ATIS when flying in terminal airspace. And while much of my non-private flying has been in class B/C/D airspace, it's in more complex aircraft with 2, 3, sometimes 4 radios. Most of my private flying has been in not very busy airspace, usually in class G and E with the occasional visit to someplace like Calgary/Springbank class C.
