SayWeather Pro2

$9,995

SayWeather Pro2 provides enhanced weather advisory capabilities, offering on-demand surface-weather updates round the clock with minimal mic inputs. With compatibility for all VHF-radio equipped aircraft, ensure timely weather insights for every flight operation at your airport, optimizing safety and efficiency.

SayWeather Pro2 includes a “NIST-traceable” calibrated, triple redundant precision altimeter for reliable, high-accuracy altimeter settings and SayWeather Pro2 uses only “NIST-traceable” calibrated Davis Vantage PRO2 weather stations.  The Davis Vantage PRO2 has a separate anemometer and wind vane making installation easy and hassle-free.  The light-weight anemometer can be installed on a light-duty pole reducing the need for guying and more-expensive mounting systems.  The solar-powered, battery-backed, wireless weather station’s integrated sensor suite (ISS) is typically installed about 6 feet above ground level and can be located up to 40 feet from the anemometer/wind vane. The ISS also incorporates 24-hour solar-powered, battery-backed, fan aspiration for accurate temperature and dew point measurement which enables density altitude reporting in advisories.  SayWeather Pro+ comes SayWxAir-ready out of the box. Connect your SayWeather Pro+ to the internet via Ethernet or WiFi to unleash all the features of SayWxAir: instant METARs via text, airport weather webpage; weather cameras, weather-parameter conditional texting, and much much more.

  • SayWeather Pro2 equips virtually every aircraft that operates into or out of your airport with in-cockpit local weather advisories, all with no new equipment in the aircraft and at no cost to the aircraft owner, and SayWeather Pro2 is packed with features and benefits:
    • Precision triple redundant barometric pressure sensor for high-accuracy altimeter setting – exceeds FAA’s AWOS/ASOS accuracy requirements (when calibrated and operated as specified).
    • Fully user-configurable advisories, including number of mic-key clicks to activate, weather parameters, male or female voice, special announcements and more.
    • Two (touch-screen-selectable) alternate advisory sets allows easy replacement of the default advisory with special advisories, for example “airport closed”, or “fly-in parking on south ramp only”.  Simply touch “Normal” to return to the default advisory.
    • Clear 5 Watt (P.E.P) transceiver provides 10 nautical mile range at pattern altitude and up to 30 nautical miles at higher altitudes.
    • Davis Vantage PRO2 weather station is solar powered and lithium-primary-battery-backed to ensure reliable continuous operation even under prolonged overcast conditions.  Separate anemometer/wind-vane enables low-cost easy installation.

    • Up to 1000′ wireless range between weather station installation site and SayWeather Pro2.  Longer range (up to a mile) is available using optional solar-powered repeaters.
    • Publish live weather to the internet (thru Ethernet, or optionally WiFi) for remote weather access via phone, tablet or PC.
    • Ships with “NIST-traceable” calibration for all weather sensors.
    • SayWeather Pro2 is compatible with the full suite of SayWeather wired and wireless airport lighting controllers.
    • SayWeather Pro2 works with the full suite of SayWxAir features.

Get ready for unparalleled connectivity. SayWxAir is a subscription-based web service that complements SayWeather and provides even more convenience and confidence for airport owner-operators and pilots alike.

Airport Lighting

Implement or enhance your airport’s lighting control with SayWeather unique “lights acknowledged” answer-back feature. SayWeather lighting controllers will acknowledge pilot-activate airport lights with a verbal announcement over VHF radio. Pilots approach the airport while line-of-sight is obscured (due to terrain, clouds, weather, etc.) can be assured that the airport’s lights have been activated.
**Wireless Model Shown
SayWeather PAL controllers, offer both “wired” and “wireless” options tailored to your installation needs. Opt for a seamless and cost-effective solution with our wired PAL. Simply install the PAL controller in-line with airport lighting power and plug-in the PAL control line to SayWeather. For cases where controlling airport lighting power is remote to the SayWeather installation, enjoy flexibility and convenience with our wireless PAL. Install the wireless PAL in-line with airport lighting power and link it to wireless-enabled SayWeather. Control airport lighting through SayWeather without trenching over long distances or cutting into asphalt or concrete.

SayWeather lighting controllers are offered in 1-channel (PAL-1) or 3-channel (PAL-3) versions.  The PAL-1 controller is great for basic on – off control of airport lighting. The PAL-3 lighting controller provides for control of 3 lighting zones (or 3 different lighting intensities if the airport is equipped with constant-current lighting-intensity-control equipment).  Up to three PAL-1 lighting controllers can be daisy-chained to provide the same functionality as the PAL-3… the lighting control system can grow as the airport’s needs grow. SayWeather PAL controllers include a full set of user-programmable features:

  • automatic turn-on and turn-off at sunrise and sunset
  • selectable delayed turn-off (after sunset) and early turn-on (before sunrise)
  • user-configurable mic-key-count for pilot activation of airport lights
  • audio acknowledgement, over the VHF transceiver, of receipt of pilot-activated lighting command
  • selectable on-duration for pilot activated lighting.

The SayWeather PAL controllers can be interfaced with industry-standard constant-current airport lighting-intensity-controllers as the PAL controller’s output relay contact ratings exceed those specified in the FAA’s L-854 circular for lighting intensity control electrical contacts. Further, SayWeather can be configured to support a modified “style A” or “style B” intensity control configuration where control relays are actuated individually or actuated and held-closed in sequence. SayWeather PAL controllers use UL-recognized power relays that are rated for 10 Amps (tungsten lighting) at 120VAC and 20 Amps at 277VAC.

(Note: while SayWeather PAL options provide a reliable and easy-to-use solution for airport lighting control, SayWeather PAL options do not fully conform to the FAA’s L-854 specification. Further, SayWeather PAL options are not designed to operate at temperature limits, humidity limits and under certain operating conditions noted in the FAA’s L-854 specification. SayWeather, the PAL-1 and PAL-3 lighting controllers, and attached components, are intended to be installed and operated in an indoor environment. Do not install these components outdoors unless appropriate additional environmental protection is provided. SayWeather PAL-1W and PAL-3W are designed to withstand typical outdoor temperature and humidity conditions and can be mounted and operated in an outdoor location.)
