Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS). A continuous broadcast of pre-recorded information at selected airports (typically the busy ones). ATIS is typically broadcasted over a specific VHF frequency and contains essential information, such as latest actual weather observation, which runways are active for arrivals/departures, available approaches, runway/taxiway closures alerts/SPECI (windshear, turbulence, icing, bird activity, etc) and any other meteorological and operational info that may be of importance to the pilots.

We can distinguish between two types of ATIS, these is the D-ATIS (Data link Automatic Terminal Information Service) and Voice-ATIS (Voice Automatic Terminal Information Service).
