How to use our sources and dates

Archive note: This general educational item appeared in a September 2024 newsletter. It is not flight instruction, an operating procedure, or a substitute for current official aeronautical information and training.

Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS) can provide recurring airport information such as weather, runway use, and other items selected for the broadcast. An identifying code helps pilots tell air traffic control which edition they received. Delivery and content can vary by facility, and recorded or digital information can be superseded.

Pilots and operators must use the current official sources, charts, notices, procedures, training, and air-traffic instructions applicable to the operation. Receiving ATIS does not by itself establish runway suitability, clearance, aircraft performance, or a safety outcome.

Jet Partners acts as an air charter broker, not as a direct air carrier or flight-training provider. For an accepted charter, the properly licensed direct air carrier retains operational control and is responsible for its flight-planning and operating procedures.
