anyAWOS Service Allows Toll Free Access to AWOS/ATIS

any AWOS is a service that connects you to any automated weather reporting station or airport (AWOS, ASOS, and ATIS) that has a public telephone number. any-AWOS saves you the trouble of looking up AWOS phone numbers (many of which are hard to find) and connects you, toll-free, to the AWOS of your choice.

Looks like a good service.

So what's the point of this piece? Or did I miss something? Of course we want all pilots aware of wx and TFRs.

I'll add you to the list.

The point is that you can get an AWOS (Automated Weather Observation System) or ATIS (Airport Terminal Information Service) recording anywhere that has it, toll-free. You'd have to do quite a bit of research to get the telephone number for a smaller airport's AWOS, then you'd have to pay for the LD charges to hear the record. This service streamlines the look-up and makes it toll-free.

Over here NavCanada has one number 1-866-WX-BRIEF that connects you to the nearest FIC. They'll give you the nearest METAR and TAF as well as other flight planning resources. It isn't that difficult to find airport contact numbers over here, they're all in the Canada Flight Supplement. Not sure how this is done over there.
