AWOS installed at 1S3

By Janice Wood · November 30, 2010 ·

Belfort Instrument Co. has installed its DigiWxTM Automated Weather Observation system (AWOS) at Tillitt Field (1S3), in Forsyth, Montana.

The AWOS AV provides real-time wind speed, wind direction, temperature, relative humidity, dewpoint and altimeter setting and visibility information on a graphical display at the FBO office, over the airport’s Unicom radio, via dial-in telephone, and on the Internet.

Brian Schwend, manager of Tillitt Field, says, “Adding the Belfort DigiWx AWOS extends the operational capabilities of our airport. Now pilots using Tillitt can get real-time weather conditions any time they need it. We believe this will enhance safe flight operations in and around the airport.”
