If LLWAS senses a problem at one or more sensors, the tower cab display will indicate 'STATION ERROR' on the affected Line(s).

Explanation:
LLWAS flags problems at individual sensor stations with a specific display message. When a sensor or its station isn’t providing reliable data, the system marks that line as having a station error, and the tower cab shows STATION ERROR on the affected line(s). This alerts controllers that the wind information from those stations may be unreliable and should be treated with caution or supplemented by data from other lines. A wind shear alert is produced only when actual wind-shear conditions are detected, not merely when a sensor fault is present. The other phrases don’t reflect the exact display used for a sensor fault, and maintenance messages aren’t shown as real-time station errors.
