| 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. |
