Hello why is real ATIS apparently available only in the US, not in Europe ?
Thanks
Hi,
There is no source for digital ATIS (D-ATIS) outside the US, so therefore we can only show real ATIS in the US. If this changes in the future we’d be happy to expand the real ATIS coverage in the app.
Kind regards,
Stephen
Ah ok understand.
thanks for your answer
@stephen , I’m not sure how the API or data gets pulled on the Navigraph side but NAVCANADA (Canada equivalent of FAA) has a website with unique URL’s for each airport. The ATIS data can be pulled from there. https://spaces.navcanada.ca/workspace/aeroview/ is the website which takes you to an option of over 40 different airports. The data is all plain text as well, see below example of CYTZ
here is also a source
RJAA (NRT) - Live digital ATIS
im not 100% sure how accurate it is or where they get their data
i switched it to VHHH and, it actually looks like it pulls from ACARS according to the dev console probably from this site

They’re (supposedly) real D-ATIS obtained by watching public ACARS transmissions. The problem with ATIS Guru is that they only ever get a D-ATIS if and when someone requests it via ACARS so they can be hours and possibly days out of date, and the airports covered vary over time.

correct, that why i put a disclaimer
you would have to double check within the dev console when the data was last updated or the last call for D-ATIS was
It was a major improvement when live traffic was made possible with FR24 data. Thanks and congratulations!
While testing and flying with real traffic it soon became clear that good ATIS information has become essential before planning flights.
I found that SayIntentions is often wrong or behind for runways in use, e.g. X on SayIntentions while Y is actually current. Not very good to have all the planning done just to find out that actual traffic works contrary to the flight now in the FMC.
When searching for better info I found https://atis.guru/ and have since run tests and comparisons with real live on FR24 and find atis.guru greatly superior to SayIntentions.
I am aware that the above posts are over a year old and that atis.guru is based on D-ATIS. But tests over the last few weeks showed that, while not strictly always the airports of the FPL are covered, in most cases they are and they are up to date. Of course that only works for the larger airports which support D-ATIS.
If it is not too much effort, it would be great if:
atis.guru could become a selection in the ATIS section in navigraph charts.
the ATIS options can also be made available in SimBrief so the correct runways can be selected before creating the plan.
