Approach Information
For pilots destined to an airport without an ATIS, what do you give?
> approach clearance or type approach to be expected if two or more approaches are published and the clearance limit does not indicate which will be used
> runway if different from that to which the instrument approach is made
> surface wind
> ceiling and visibility if the reported ceiling at the airport of intended landing is below 1,000’ or below the highest circling minimum, whichever is greater, or the visibility is less than 3 miles
> altimeter setting for the airport of intended landing

Approach Information
In regards to automated weather data, upon pilot request, what do you have to give?
The frequency where the automated weather data may be obtained.
(4-7-(10-12)
Approach Information
ASOS/AWOS must be set to provide:
One minute weather at uncontrolled airports that are without ground-to-air weather broadcast capability by a CWO, NWS or FSS observer
(4-7-(10-12)
Approach Information
Controllers will consider the long-line disseminated weather from an automated weather system at an uncontrolled airport as:
Trend information only and must rely on the pilot for the current weather information for that airport
(4-7-(10-12)
Approach Information
Controllers must issue the last long-line disseminated weather to the pilot if the pilot is:
Unable to receive the ASOS/AWOS broadcast
(4-7-(10-12)
Approach Information
Issue any known changes at uncontrolled airports as:
Special weather observations as soon as possible.
(Special weather observations need not be issued after they are included in the ATIS broadcast and the pilot states the appropriate ATIS code.
(4-7-(10-12)
Arrival Information by Approach Control Facilities
What information do you forward to non approach control towers soon enough to permit adjustment of the traffic flow or to FSSs soon enough to provide local airport advisory where applicable.
> aircraft identification
> type of aircraft
> ETA
> type of instrument approach procedures the aircraft will execute; or
> for SVFR, the direction from which the aircraft will enter Class B-E surface area and any altitude restrictions that were issued; or
> for aircraft executing a contact approach, the position of the aircraft
(4-7-(10-12)
Arrival Information by Approach Control Facilities
Forward the following information to centers:
> where two or more instrument approach procedures are published for the airport, the particular procedures which an aircraft can expect or that it will be vectored toward the airport for a visual approach
> highest altitude being used by the approach control facility at the holding fix
> average time interval between successive approaches
> arrival time of aircraft over the holding fix or, if control has been transferred to you before an aircraft has reached the fix, a statement or other indication acknowledging receipt of control responsibility
> revised EFC if different by 10 minutes or more from that issued by the center
> missed approaches if they affect center operations
