Abstract:This report develops establishment and discontinuance criteria for automated
weather observing systems (AWOS) for publication in FAA Order 703l.2B, Airway
Planning Standard Number One. Airway Planning Standard Number One contains
the policy and summarizes the criteria used in determining eligibility of terminal
locations for establishment, discontinuance and improvements of air navigation
facilities and air traffic control services.
The criteria developed in this report are based on rigorous Ufe-cycle cost
effectiveness and benefit/cost analyses of AWOS which measure weather and
environmental parameters essential to FAA operations--wind direction and speed,
temperature and dew point, altimeter setting, ceiling, visibility,
precipitation and thunderstorm activity.
