Aviation / AWOS Weather Stations
Who relies on a Coastal Weather Station?
The United States
President
Air Force One is based at
Andrews Air Force base which
is THREE air fields at once:
• The official Presidential field
• Air Force base
• Civilian airfield.
Coastal’s FMQ-19 is used for
the official weather station.
2
Aviation / AWOS Weather Stations
Who relies on a Coastal Weather Station?
The Space Shuttle
• NASA had Coastal create
a “SUPER” aviation
weather station which has
a completely redundant
back-up system operating
in tandem with the primary
system to assist in guiding
the Space Shuttle in for a
safe landing.
3
Aviation / AWOS Weather Stations
Who relies on a Coastal Weather Station?
Hurricane Katrina
Survivors
• Coastal had the only surviving
operating weather stations in
the Katrina impact area.
• Coastal Environmental
weather stations guided
relief flights landing at
Keesler Air Base for
Hurricane Katrina relief.
4
Aviation / AWOS Weather Stations
Who relies on a Coastal Weather Station?
The South Pole Pilots
• Working with the US Navy and the
NSF (National Science Foundation)
Coastal was able to modify our
system to be the first ever aviation
weather station to survive and
operate at the South Pole Station.
• It was the first time that automated
weather for aviation support and
safety was ever available there.
(It gets as cold as -90 degrees!)
5
Aviation / AWOS Weather Stations
Who relies on a Coastal Weather Station?
The United States
Air Force
• The US Air Force has over
100 aviation weather stations
built, installed and maintained
by Coastal.
• US Air Bases are located
around the world: USA,
England, Germany, Korea,
Japan, Afghanistan, Middle
East, South America and
other locations.
6
Aviation / AWOS Weather Stations
Who relies on a Coastal Weather Station?
The FAA
(Federal Aviation Administration)
• The FAA purchased 289
Aviation Weather Stations for
All Class C airports in the USA
• The stations measure:
Winds (all parameters),
Pressure/Altimeter,
Temperature,
Humidity/Dew Point,
and have room for expansion

AWOS – What is it?

Aviation / AWOS Weather Stations
AWOS – What is it?
Automated Weather Observing System
• AWOS systems consist of 1, 2 or 3 groups of sensors
per runway
• Whether you choose 1, 2 or 3 is based on the level of
service and size of your airfield
• Typically there is one Primary sensor group at the
primary touchdown end of the runway
– If two groups, then a smaller set of sensors at the roll-out end
– If three groups, then an even smaller set of sensors at centerfield
• Multiple runways may require multiple 2nd and 3rd groups,
but not another primary group
9

Aviation / AWOS Weather Stations
AWOS – Primary Group
• A primary group can consist of some or all of the following:
– FDCU: Field Data Collection Unit. These electronics ingest all the
data from the sensors and communicate that data to the Server in
the tower or weather office.
– Wind Speed and Direction
– Temperature and Humidity (DEW POINT is calculated)
– Pressure/Altimeter – usually 1,2 or 3 sensors for redundancy
(QFE, QFF and QNH are calculated)
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
Visibility and RVR (Runway Visual Range; the field should have lights)
Cloud Height (sky coverage calculated)
Precipitation Identification (sometimes called “Present Weather”)
Lightning/Thunderstorm Detection
Precipitation Amount
Freezing Rain
Ambient Light Sensor (if calculating RVR)
RLIM (Runway Light Intensity Monitor – for RVR) This sensor is located in the
lighting vault where the runway lights get their power.
11
Aviation / AWOS Weather Stations
AWOS – Secondary Group
• A secondary group can consist of some or all of the
following:
– FDCU: Field Data Collection Unit. These electronics
ingest all the data from the sensors and communicate
that data to the Server in the tower or weather office.
– Wind Speed and Direction
– Visibility/RVR
– Cloud Height (sky coverage calculated)
– The other sensors are not duplicated in this group because it is assumed
that their measurements will be the same as the Primary group.
12
Aviation / AWOS Weather Stations
AWOS – Mid-Field Group
• A mid-field group can consist of some or all of the
following:
– FDCU: Field Data Collection Unit. These electronics ingest
all the data from the sensors and communicate that data to
the Server in the tower or weather office.
– Wind Speed and Direction
– Visibility/RVR
– The other sensors are not duplicated in this group because it is assumed
that their measurements will be the same as the Primary group.

• Coastal does not manufacture ANY
sensors – so we are free to:
– Choose the best in all the WORLD
– Choose any sensors you WISH to use
– Select the BEST VALUE sensors for you
Best Value considers: accuracy, reliability (MTBF)
durability, ease of use and maintenance (MTTR),
lifetime performance AND price
20
