AXYS Technologies Inc.'s (AXYS) Aviation Sentinel™, AWOS, is a self-contained and
fully automated weather station for the collection, processing,
and distribution of aviation weather data. This turnkey
system is designed for easy  installation on any approved
site.
The Aviation Sentinel™ provides the standard four-element weather
information that meets the exemption under Canadian Aviation
Regulation (CARS) 804.01(c) as a Limited Weather Information
System (LWIS). The Aviation Sentinel™ exceeds the
Transport Canada specifications intended for use at secondary
airports that desire IFR certification.
A basic system configuration broadcasts wind speed, wind direction, air temperature,
dew point temperature, altimeter, and atmospheric pressure
via VHF. Inbound pilots can hear the current weather in
familiar METAR format broadcast continuously, or by keying
the microphone on the designated AWOS frequency. Current
weather can also be added to digital Automated Terminal
Information Systems (ATIS). The Aviation Sentinel™ is expandable
to include other aviation weather parameters, such as ceiling,
visibility, and present weather.
The heart of the system is AXYS' proven WatchMan500™ processor
technology. System access provided by VHF or cell phone
telemetry allows remote maintenance, monitoring, and quality
control capabilities when information is received using
AXYS' Wx View™ software to decode, display, and archive
data. Wx View™ automatically posts hourly METARs to
the airport website, as well as the complete 30-day history
log as required by Transport Canada.
