AWOS or Microtower?
AWOS at large tower-controlled airports
- Serving scheduled commercial airlines
- Scheduling connections is time critical
- Scheduled airlines must land on time
- Delay or diversion impacts are immense
- $300-$500,000+ USD available in budget
- 3-5 year delay acceptable, or, replacing old but functioning AWOS equipment
- Reliable power and communications available on site
- 18 open acres available
Primary: Standard AWOS as primary
MicroTower: backup to AWOS and extended services
MicroTower for non-towered airport/heliports
