AWOS Funding?
"Jay Honeck" wrote:
Does anyone know the mechanics behind the funding of Automated Weather Observation Systems (AWOS) at airports? Your answer is he http://www.faa.gov/asos/ "Both Federal and nonfederal systems are in service. The FAA purchased and currently maintains the Federal AWOS equipment. State, local, and private organizations buy and maintain nonfederal AWOSs." So if Iowa has a larger number than average of stations it is probably because local Iowa governments and organizations are paying for them.

"Both Federal and nonfederal systems are in service. The FAA purchased and

So if Iowa has a larger number than average of stations it is probably because local Iowa governments and organizations are paying for them. And, conversely, Missouri must be keeping their money in their wallets... Thanks for the info! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

AWOS Funding?
Exactly- my guess was that Iowa got a lot of federal money, particularly
during election cycles.
