Such climatic conditions might include wind direction, wind speed, visibility, barometric pressure, temperature, and cloud height, among others. A transmitting station within the airport includes one or more climatic condition sensors such as a wind vane, an anemometer, a barometer, etc., an encoder for providing an encoded signal indicative of the sensed climatic conditions, and a radio transmitter for transmitting the encoded signal. A receiving station within the aircraft includes a radio receiver for receiving the transmitted encoded signal, a decoder for decoding the encoded signal to provide the dynamic climatic condition data, and a display for displaying that data. | |
