Terms & Concepts

Before using vATIS, you should familiarize yourself with few key terms and concepts.

Profile

A Profile acts as a container for managing one or more ATIS Stations.

• Typically, you create a Profile for each controlled facility, such as a TRACON or ARTCC (e.g. one profile for Las Vegas TRACON and another profile for Los Angeles ARTCC)

ATIS Station

An ATIS Station represents the configuration for a specific airport, including current conditions and relevant ATIS information.

Preset

A Preset is a predefined set of settings for an ATIS Station, including:

• Airport Conditions
• NOTAMs
• Other ATIS-related configurations

Each ATIS Station can have multiple Presets for different scenarios. For example, you might have a Preset for “WEST OPS” and one for “EAST OPS”.
