Abstract :
The system of METAR transmission has been progressively developed.
Initially, pilots had to be manually informed by the ATCs. Then, the audio broadcast
system, called ATIS, was invented and programmed to continuously send data to
the cockpit through VHF. The latest innovation, SATCOM, utilizes datalink sent to
the ACARS which is digitally built in the cockpit.. Therefore, the simulation design
proposed in this paper is expected to become an insightful educational simulation
tool for students in Aviation Engineering Study Program.
The design itself employs microcontrollers arduino uno to control the input
and output data, also that acts as the regulator of the request and answer data. It
also has SIM 900 which functions the medium of transmitter and receiver of data
sent by arduino.
METAR data delivery test results to the cockpit of the aircraft using this
information delivery tool only takes approximately 3 seconds, much faster when
compared to Voice ATIS.Despite using GSM sim900 as a replacement for
communications satellite media, this simulation shows the use of D-ATIS is a
precise and rapid innovation.
