LLWAS wind information is used for operational purposes by which facilities?

• A. Towers equipped with AWOS
• B. Facilities with an NWS office
• C. Towers equipped with LLWAS
• D. AT Personnel

Answer: (C)

LLWAS provides real-time wind-shear information to support safe airport operations, and this data is used by the air traffic control facilities at airports that have LLWAS installed. The system gathers wind data from multiple sensors around the field and helps controllers detect dangerous wind variations that can affect takeoff and landing, prompting alerts or adjusted runway operations. AWOS towers provide general weather observations, and NWS offices handle broader forecasts and warnings, but LLWAS data is specifically integrated into the operations of towers that are equipped with LLWAS. AT personnel rely on that installed system to make timely decisions on runway use and safety, making towers equipped with LLWAS the correct choice.
