ZBAA Departure ATIS

[ewandougie]

It would make more sense to have a different ATIS frequency for Mandarin and English versions

[JotageHagemann]

Dude, what if you fail to copy that into the ATIS Sheet.....imagine having to hear all that in mandarin and english again.....XD

@JotageHagemann

Yes, you have to wait until the next cycle.....

[JotageHagemann]

@lzd772 yeah thats why i pointed it out, always listen to a few a day to practice for whenever i need to actually write them down when im flying, thats why im saying it sucks x)

[mofo626]

[lzd772]

@mofo626

Yes..."dong dong" means "zero zero"

[issueagent]

Brilliant weather!

Pretty annoying China and CIS display the windspeed in meters...another conversion to make! Nice they give you the RWY HDG as well!

[forces077]

much harder to understand than heathrows, what would happen if a pilot couldnt understand it?

[lzd772]

I guess he can ask the ATC....

[aqeeliqb9]

ok... the english i got every bit of it ..but after the final contact frequency what was the info provided before saying to inform atc for information uniform ?

[gtavc03]

Operate mode-S when taxiing.

man..that computer voice in ATIS is much harder to understand than real human speaking in my opinion...and that sentence for "takeoff runway 18L" sounds kinda funny on the chinese part.

[vicarexar]

ha ha ha i used to understand and speak chinese when i was a little younger but now i just suck at it! I can only understand it now!

[1076667]

haha I come from HK but I cannot hear any word I know in Mandarin = =

But I can understand all English....

[Tovkal]

The part in english is easy to understand.
