Hi team,
I think it would be great to see Australian ATIS and/or Australian VFR charts added, since we seem to be seeing more and more ATIS and VFR map functionality.
Real-world EFB applications like Avplan and Ozrunways seem to be able to pull the data, so it seems possible, but I’m unsure what sort of arrangement they have with Airservices Australia.
The Airservices Australia NAIPS Internet Service (NIS) creates an easy interface to access ATIS, METAR, and an account can be created for free. https://www.airservicesaustralia.com/naips/
A Location Briefing provides a Weather and NOTAM briefing for the given location, and appears as such
Australian VFR maps are divided into 3 types; VTC, VNC and WAC.
VTC (1:250000) depict in-depth terminal areas, typically featuring high-density or complex airspace details. Aeronautical Information Package (AIP) - Airservices
VNC (1:500000) depict terminal areas and their surrounds, often lacking some details (ie VFR routes) that the VTC may feature. Aeronautical Information Package (AIP) - Airservices
WAC (1:1000000) are unlike VTC and VNC and only show geographic features and place names, and some SUAs (Special Use Airspace). https://www.airservicesaustralia.com/aip/current/wac/World_Aeronautical_Charts.pdf
The VTC is a Transverse Mercator projection whilst the VNC and WAC is Lambert Conformal Conic.
