Dear Mayor F1~rman:
Over the past few months, Kerrville Aviation has taken the steps
necessary to provide Louis Schreiner Airport with a certified
weather reporting facility.
These steps included the procuring of required certified requirements
and training of weather observers.
The National Weather Service will commission Kerrville Aviation as a
Supplementary Aviation P;eather Re~rorting Station (SAWRS) on 1 April
1987. "ERV" call sign will be on tiie national computer with terminal
weather available to all pilots. Tnis will not only provide the ability
for commercial pilots to operate in and out of Y.errville during instrument
weather conditions but will greatly facilitate all pilots thus enhancing
planning and safety.
For a beginning Kerrville Aviation certified employees will take twelve
(12) hourly weather observations each day, beginning at 7:00 a.m. and
ending at 7:00 p.m. Additional special re~rts will be handled as tY:e
rules require. Those reports will be transmitted by telephone to the
flight service facility for entry into the weather system.
The Kerrville Unicorn frequency will also transmit the weather to in and
outbound pilots. Kerrville Aviation is not a forecaster, only an
observer of actual conditions.
Kerrville Aviation will continue to supply the qualified personnel to
make these weather reports every day of the year during our normal open
hours. In the future, night reports may be needed requiring additional
personnel. This expansion should be addressed as the requirement dictates.
