Hazardous In-Flight Weather Advisory Service
This is a continuous broadcast of in-flight weather advisories including summarized
AWW, SIGMET's, convective SIGMET's, CWA's, AIRMET's and urgent PIREP's. HIWAS has
been adopted as a national program and will be implemented throughout the conterminous
U.S. as resources permit. In those areas where HIWAS is commissioned, ARTCC, Terminal
ATC and FSS facilities have discontinued the broadcast of
in-flight advisories. HIWAS is an additional source of hazardous weather information which
makes these data available on a continuous basis. It is not, however, a replacement for
preflight or in-flight briefings or real-time weather updates from Flight Watch (EFAS). As
HIWAS is implemented in individual center areas, the commissioning will be advertised in
the Notices to Airmen (NOTAM's) publications.
In South Dakota HIWAS can be received on the following VOR frequencies:
| Pierre (PIR) |
VORTAC - 112.5 MHz |
| Sioux Falls (FSD) |
VORTAC - 115.0 MHz |
| Watertown (ATY) |
VORTAC - 116.6 MHz |
| Dupree (DPR) |
VORTAC - 116.8 MHz |
| Mitchell (MHE) |
VOR - 109.2 MHz |
| Philip (PHP) |
VOR – 108.4 MHz |
