That's a problem, of course, it would only work fine for the departure airport...kullery wrote: In many places (especially within ZLA) the “nearest airport” would be the wrong airport when picking up the arrival ATIS. I experimented wih something like that when I attempted to build a web page that would “auto select” the ATIS based on your reported position.
Another idea then: We could introduce three frequencies:
1. Nearest airport for checking the departure ATIS and for updates enroute
2. Arrival airport
3. Alternate airport
2. and 3. would of course require that the pilot has filed a flight plan.
