100% POOP..... Belfort Instruments DigiWx AWOS **** that is!
http://meadowlake-airport.com/AWOS.htm reads in short:
"Executive Conclusion: Of the four candidate AWOS manufacturers, only two meet the threshold and objective system performance levels. These are systems provided by All Weather Inc (AWI) and Vaisala. The SuperAWOS by Potomac Aviation does not pass an initial cut due to maintenance problems encountered with their SuperUnicom installed at Meadow Lake airport." "The Belfort Digi WX "AWOS" is not a true FAA fully commissionable AWOS. Its complete sensor suite is not certified. Installation of this system at 00V means that we would not have our weather data (METAR) accessible in the federal database which means that Flight Service and other sites such as ADDS, XM weather, WSI, etc would not not have Meadow Lake weather data. The only certified weather info would be altimeter and visibility. While this does allow Part 91 and 135 instrument approaches, the inability to incorporate its complete METAR data in the federal system is a deal-breaker." "The apparent initial cost savings of the initial Belfort Digi WX acquisition is minimal and not worth the lack of functionality and usefulness to the national aviation community. Life-cycle cost of the Belfort system over 15 years is over $27,000 higher than the Vaisala system." "It would not allow us to transition to a three letter airport identifier." "Bottom line is that the Belfort system represents false economy, minimal pilot usefulness and is inconsistent with providing the aviation community services that make this airport attractive to current and future pilots and businesses." "Of the remaining systems offered by AWI and Vaisala, Vaisala is the preferred system." The complete report highlighting the serious shortcomings of the Belfort Instrument DigiWx AWOS can be found at: http://meadowlake-airport.com/AWOSanalysis.doc What some of the airports with DigiWx said in Ron Lee's report: 1) Greenville, IL (GRE): "prefer Vaisala" 2) Ingersoll Canton, OH (CTK): "pilots don’t like it" 3) Lake In The Hills, IL (3CK): "wind speed info inaccurate. system goes down during every thunderstorm." 4) Central Maine, ME (OWK): "gives incorrect info. want to take it out." 5) Ravalli County, MT (6S5): "winds and temp are advisory in recording." 6) Ocean City, NJ (26N): "would get a Vaisala next time." 7) Darke County, OH (KVES): "not working yet on radio...only by phone." Does anyone have anything good to say about Belfort's Digiwx AWOS? http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=****+digiwx http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=****+belfort+instruments BUY Belfort Instruments DigiWx-****...
