Airport manager: AWOS reception strong but sensor failure leaves some data offline
Summary
Airport Manager Linda Steiner said radio reception for the AWOS remains reliable beyond 10 miles, but a sensor that reports dewpoint, temperature and density altitude has failed and is backordered; a replacement is expected in late June or early July.
Airport Manager Linda Steiner updated the advisory board that Bay Bridge Airport’s Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) is providing good radio reception for pilots but that one sensor has failed. "The radio issue remains solved with people continuing to report good reception well over 10 miles out from the airport," Steiner said, adding that the failed sensor provides dewpoint, temperature and density-altitude readings.
Steiner said the replacement sensor has been ordered but is backordered, and the expected delivery window is late June or early July. The board did not direct immediate additional action beyond ordering the part; Steiner’s update served as an operational status report for pilots and stakeholders.
