DISCUSSION
The Texas Department of Transportation, Aviation Division has notified the City that Fort Worth Spinks
Airport has tentatively been scheduled to~ receive an Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS)
The AWOS would significantly enhance the airport's operational capabilities and the ability to increase
its corporate and small charter development potential
Currently, pilots must use weather reports from Meacham International Airport when filing fight plans
This is often unreliable since the weather conditions at both airports are not always the same Also, the
AWOS is required before small charter operations using aircraft with 30 seats or fewer can use the
airport.
The Texas Department of Transportation has offered the City a grant for the purchase of the AWOS
system on a 75./.,2; split basis The City's 25% share is $21,250, with the total installation cost being
