The Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) is a weather collection and display system that will be installed in airport traffic control towers (ATCTs) and other strategic areas designated by the National Weather Service (NWS). The ASOS system is being procured, installed, operated, and maintained by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). This report encompasses the results of the third evaluation of the limited production ASOS displays and the results of a followup ad hoc meeting after the evaluation was completed. The third ASOS evaluation was conducted at the Will Rogers World Airport, Ok; Wiley Post Airport, Ok; Tulsa International Airport, OK; Lincoln Municipal Airport, NE; Johnson County Airport, KS; Rosecrans Memorial Airport, MO; and Grand Island Airport, NE. On-site air traffic control (ATC) personnel evaluated the ASOS hardware (keyboard and displays) in an operational environment and then completed questionnaires provided by the FAA Technical Center. The completed questionnaires were then analyzed by Technical Center personnel with the results presented at the ad hoc meeting. It was recommended that new modifications be made to the Controller Video Display (CVD) and Operator Interface Device (OID). These modifications were Prioritized with a short- and long-term schedule.
