Atis Wheel
Pilots
and air crew now have the ability to reduce their pre-landing and pre-takeoff
workload through the use of the amazing new Atis Wheel™.
The Atis Wheel™ is a mechanical device designed to help the airplane pilot in recording all ATIS information while presenting the data as a graphic depiction. The Atis Wheel™ is presented on a 5.5 "x 8.5" rectangular durable format with seven individual 1.5" wheels positioned about the perimeter of the device along with two, 3" concentric wheels positioned in the center. Each wheel's topic coincides with the sequential information reported in the airport terminal broadcast.
Once the information is entered onto the Atis Wheel™, this displayed information is now available to the pilot for continued reference without the possibility of transcription error or forgetting the pertinent ATIS data. (It is recommended that the pilot listen to the pre-recorded ATIS information twice to verify that the correct information has been entered on the Atis Wheel™.) The Atis Wheel™ information coincides with the sequential layout of the Atis Wheel™,
providing the pilot with all of the broadcast Atis information data.
Additionally offered on the Atis Wheel™ (though not offered in the ATIS broadcast) is an input on a wheel to display the airport Field Elevation, critical for instrument approaches. The Atis Wheel™ also
displays clearly the visual relationship between the wind direction and
the active runway, informing the pilot as to the pending cross wind takeoff
and landing situation.The ATIS Wheel is 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and fits nicely into a Jeppesen binder.
This is a large format preferred by flight instructors and students.
Atis Wheel Pro
Like the ATIS Wheel, but smaller (approximately 3.5" x 5.5") for the professional pilot to conveniently fit in a shirt pocket for quick and easy reference. Note, the ATIS Wheel Pro does not contain the "Wind Velocity", Visibilty" or RWY/Approach" wheels like its big brother
