other states may be identified for Brunei Darussalam Meteorological Department
approval.
______________________________________________________________________________________
Page 17 of 113
State Definition
Real Time Normal All sensors and displays are operational.
Real Time Degraded At least one sensor is not operational and at least one
communication device is not operational. This specified
number is a parameter defined in the furnished airport
configuration files. The system is also in the Real Time
Degraded state when fewer than all of the displays are
operational.
System Support Fewer than a specified number of sensors,

communication devices and displays have been
operational for a period of time.
The system is also in the System Support state whenever

the system determines that at least one of the
configuration files is invalid or whenever other serious
unexpected system problems are encountered.
Initialization The system state during the period of time required for the
system to start up from the powered off condition until it
is processing adequate data to start displaying data.
Off No power is being provided to the processing server.
The displays SHALL indicate that they are no longer

receiving data from the processing server.
______________________________________________________________________________________
Page 18 of 113
5.7 AWOS System Cycle Definition
5.7.1 The AWOS SHALL perform all required processing within a system cycle. Required
processing includes, but is not limited to, acquiring data from the sensors, and updating
of displays.
5.7.2 Each system cycle SHALL be less than or equal to 10 seconds.
5.8 AWOS System Initialization
5.8.1 The AWOS SHALL automatically (without operator intervention) attain full operation,
determine the correct system state, and acquire the correct date and time.
5.8.2 The AWOS SHALL assure that the system is automatically initialized to the Real Time
Normal, Real Time Degraded or System Support state upon recovery from a fault and
that all processing interrupted by the fault is properly resumed after recovery.
5.8.3 The processing server interfaces and connected AWOS displays and communication
devices SHALL be initialized appropriately.
______________________________________________________________________________________
Page 19 of 113
5.9 AWOS System Time
5.9.1 The processing server SHALL include a clock function as part of its standard COTS
configuration to maintain system time. The GOAL for the system is to receive time
standard data from the Global Positioning System (GPS). The AWOS SHALL use this
time to support archiving, maintenance and other functions. Time will be displayed in
Universal Coordinated Time (UTC).
5.9.2 The AWOS SHALL be responsible for periodically verifying the correctness of its time to
within 1 second of the time standard and for updating it as necessary based on the date
and time as received by AWOS. If the time standard information is not available, the
AWOS system SHALL continue to operate using internal time. Whenever the time
standard is not available, the system SHALL periodically continue to attempt to get the
time standard data until it is successful. Also, under these conditions, the system's
internal clock SHALL not drift more than 5 seconds every 24 hours.
5.10 Specific Requirement for AWOS Processing Server
5.10.1 The Processing server SHALL receive and gather airport meteorological information
from meteorological sensors (new) via communication devices, performing the data
calculations necessary for reportable observations, processing and data quality
validation, historical data storage, time tag and delivery of the airport meteorological
information to AWOS displays.
5.10.2 The Processing server SHALL be flexible and have the ability to push readable data to
account for any future addition of AWOS displays and any external interfaces or
systems.
