Do airfields even publish the ATIS generally?

In Norway, now they publish the ATIS in text on the ippc.no website, they call that D-ATIS for Digital ATIS (well for some airports, at least ENVA :-)). That is quite nice you can pull up your phone and read the ATIS before starting your engine without using any electrical equipment of the aircraft.

ENVA, Norway

The ATIS is same as the metar, with the addition of the current runway.

The ATIS includes more information than just the METAR. At least runway/approach procedure in use, transition level, runway conditions when applicable, etc. Frequently also other plain text information.

ESKC (Uppsala/Sundbro), Sweden

Never heard of autometar.

An autometar is a METAR generated by an automatic weather observation system and not by a weather observer. Autometars should include the code AUTO between the time and wind groups, but I don’t know if that’s universally applied. Exampel: ESUT 101150Z AUTO 15009KT 110V200 9999 SCT062/// 23/09 Q1011

Note the three slashes on the cloud layer, meaning that the system couldn’t determine the cloud type.

I’ve seen it very often in Spain, France, Slovenia…

“Pilots of arriving aircraft are to report any passengers who are unwell” is a popular one at present :-)

EGLM & EGTN

It’s really funny to read of the same trip in 2013. So little changes… but that’s good!

And here is one from 2007, pre-dating EuroGA by some 5 years, which is even better, with some notes on the “IT” used in those days

Nice choice of courtesy cars

Paris/Essex, France/UK, United Kingdom

In those days it was actually impossible to hire a car on Losinj. That remained until a few years ago – to support the local taxi business.
