Because flying is cool

Oceano Airport adds AWOS

By · ·

Good things come to those who wait. At least that’s how the saying goes.

Seven years after they started, California’s Oceano Airport (L52) in San Luis Obispo has an operating Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS).

Oceano Airport (L52) newly installed Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) is now operational.

“The system is currently in test mode,” notes airport evangelist Mitch Latting. “But data is available on 118.375 and 805-489-1305.”

  1. Great news for Oceano Airport. I use to fly up there from KSEE during flight training and would have to guess on the Wx conditions. Now I don’t have to worry. Thanks for the upgrade SLO.

  2. A very special thank you to San Luis Obispo County Airport Director Kevin Bumen, Assistant Director Craig Piper and staff for their dogged pursuit of the Oceano AWOS3 system. Ditto to Ben Sclair for his patience as this project evolved.
