(d) ATIS for departing aircraft
ATIS messages containing departure information only shall contain the following elements
of information in the order listed:
(1) name of aerodrome;
(2) departure indicator;
(3) contract type, if communication is via D-ATIS;
(4) designator;
(5) time of observation, if appropriate;
(6) runway(s) to be used for take-off; status of arresting system constituting a potential
hazard, if any;
(7) significant surface conditions of runway(s) to be used for take-off and, if appropriate,
braking action;
(8) departure delay, if appropriate;
(9) transition level, if applicable;
(10) other essential operational information;
(11) surface wind direction (in degrees magnetic) and speed, including significant
variations and, if surface wind sensors related specifically to the sections of
runway(s) in use are available and the information is required by aircraft operators,
the indication of the runway and the section of the runway to which the information
refers;
(12) visibility and, when applicable RVR [1] and, if visibility/RVR sensors related
specifically to the sections of runway(s) in use are available and the information is
required by operators, the indication of the runway and the section of the runway to
which the information refers;
(13) present weather [1];
(14) cloud below 1 500 m (5 000 ft) or below the highest minimum sector altitude,
whichever is greater; cumulonimbus; if the sky is obscured, vertical visibility when
available [1];
(15) air temperature;

(18) any available information on significant meteorological phenomena in the climb-out
area including wind shear;
(19) trend forecast, when available; and
(20) specific ATIS instructions.
**************************************************************************
[1] These elements are replaced by the term ‘CAVOK’ when the following conditions occur
simultaneously at the time of observation: (a) visibility: 10 km or more, and the lowest visibility not
reported; (b) no cloud of operational significance; and (c) no weather of significance to aviation.
