Frequently Asked Questions

Do you support ATIS for European or other Non-US airports?

Not at this time. If you are interested in this support, please email us at support@flyownnav.com

Can you add ATIS/AWOS recordings to the website so I can listen to ATIS online?

Yes! This is currently supported for airports without digital ATIS where an ATIS has recently been retrieved. More frequent audio file updates are coming soon.

When are ATIS broadcasts updated?

Most ATIS broadcasts are updated 53 minutes after the hour and are available over the radio at that time. Frequently ATIS is not available over the phone lines for a few minutes after the radio broadcast is updated. D-ATIS received through the internet or through this service is usually delayed 5-8 minutes. Transcripts on this site are updated on demand for airports without digital ATIS.

Is this safe? Can I use it in flight?

Some data delivered via this service is from FAA SWIM which is considered "Not for operational use". It is the pilot's responsibility to ensure the information they are operating with is accurate and current. Please use official sources for safety critical operations.

AI transcriptions are not perfect and commonly contain errors. We do our best to check these transcriptions against published METARs, however accuracy is not guaranteed.

Use this service at your own risk!

Are the ATIS provided here up to date?

Generally yes. However after the tower closes we may show the most recent ATIS even though it may not describe the current weather. We will attempt to indicate when this is happening. It is also worth noting that there may be a slight delay in D-ATIS updates, sometimes as much as 20 minutes. This limitation is not under our control.

Why do you charge for this? Isn't the information available for free?

While ATIS for many airports is freely available by telephone, calling, recording, storing and transcribing those messages costs money. As of the time of this writing ATIS Relay can be used completely for free, however we may choose to limit the number of ATIS text messages you can receive each month without a subscription. Purchasing a subscription helps keep the site running and helps fund improvements to the software. Subscribers also get priority service, support and can help guide future development.
