The CND ATIS system provides a fully automatic ICAO Annex 11 ATIS with extensive display and customization facilities using a multi-tab operator management screen. The ATIS audio is assembled from either a pre-recorded library of words and phrases, or by direct Synthetic Speech, from the text of the individual items that comprise the ATIS. The result is broadcast repetitively over a VHF radio channel. Items contained in the ATIS can be updated by direct operator input, AFTN messages, or an Automatic Meteorological instrument system. (AWOS).

The system supports D-ATIS downlink and uplink messages in ED-89A format, including Contract D-ATIS, and serial RS232 or MATIP TCP communications connection to an Air Ground Service provider.
