INFORMATION FROM THE HOLLEY MOUNTAIN CHAPTER, USPA

“Hello, Friends,

I received a long awaited call yesterday from Will Dawson, manager Clinton Municipal Airport. He said the Clinton AWOS is now in service. The frequency is 118.725 Mhz and you can also call it direct by telephone by dialing 501-745-5000. However, it will be a while before it makes it into the ATC system to be automated into your onboard XM/Garmin, etc. systems or into the automated FSS data.

Just remember when it gives the ceiling height, the elevation at Clinton Municipal is 513 MSL and Holley Mountain Airpark is 1,268 MSL. Also, Clinton Muni is in the valley with Greers Ferry Lake. This morning it's giving a visibility of 1 mile with mist and that's very common on moist cool mornings in the valley, however HMA will normally be above that fog level, .... BUT not 100%.

Everyone have a very safe & enjoyable Labor Day Weekend !!!

Jim Collom”
