ASOS and AWOS stations are typically spaced 50 to 100 kilometres (30 to 60 mi) apart and report only hourly at many sites (though over time the frequency of reporting has increased, down to 5–15 minutes in the 2020s at major sites). The Cooperative Observer Program (COOP) database consists of only daily reports recorded manually.
The presence of HIWAS information on a VOR was indicated on a sectional or terminal area chart by an "H" in the upper-right corner of the box surrounding the NAVAID frequency. [ 3 ] On 8 January 2020 the Federal Aviation Administration discontinued the HIWAS service in favor of Flight Information Services-Broadcast (FIS-B) and other modern ...
