Automated Weather Observation Station

AWOS, LWIS and AUTO refer to automated equipment used as a means to provide an aviation weather service. The services that can be provided by these systems are either full METAR AUTO/ SPECI AUTO or some subset thereof. LWIS provides a basic group of four elements and issues an hourly report. Operators of automated weather stations that are used to support instrument flight procedures are required to document the characteristics of their systems and to provide aircraft operators with suitable descriptions, upon request.
