Struggles with understanding ATIS

[Chauncey]

Hey everyone...

Just a lil question...does the brand of headset you wear have any effect on the quality of hearing of ATIS? I'm using a DC headset during my ground training to get used to switching to different freq's, tuning comm/nav stuff and struggle mightily with understanding that robotic, snowy voice on ATIS.

Maybe one with a "squelch"-type option? Would a Bose X make a difference?

While I love my bose, it's not going to fix that.

You just have to get used to understanding the 'bot!

is it the actual human voice of the ATIS (they sometimes speak robotic) or is it the robot from an AWOS?

It's usually the radios and the intercom that give you the fuzziness.

is your volume turned up all the way?

I had this problem during my first few hours.

Speaking of ATIS...

MSP ATIS

ATIS is not automated at all, the tower controllers type the broadcast into this.

Say UND, I used to do C-checks and QA work on the very plane in your avatar. Ever flown one?

Some ATIS and AWOS/ASOS transmitters are weak, and hard to hear generally.

Thats funny stuff right there.
The first time I heard the SLC ATIS I didn't understand a single word. By the way, a question for all of you that fly all over the country, are most atis transmissions as long as the one at SLC? If you miss the letter at Slc you gotta wait a half hour for it to play through
