Canberra ATIS weather note
The turbulence advisory required for a strong westerly crosswind at Canberra.
When the crosswind component from the west exceeds 11 kt, Canberra’s ATIS significant-weather field must advise pilots to expect turbulence over runway 17/35 south of the runway intersection. Include the applicable runway number in the message.
The threshold applies to the crosswind component, not simply the reported wind speed.
