Weather Information
Blackpool ATC is equipped with an automated system that supplies the surface wind, outside air temperature, dew point and pressure data. The cloud, visibility and current weather are observed by qualified met observers from the tower. This information is used to compile the METARs which are compiled half hourly at 20 mins and 50 mins past each hour. Information is available via the Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS).
TAFs are issued every 3 hours from the Met Office in Exeter.
ATIS
The ATIS operates on frequency 127.205 MHz. During ATC hours the information is verified and the Runway in Use is included in the broadcast together with a code letter. Pilots should obtain the latest information before contacting ATC.
