What is not required at automated locations if AMOS is working properly and no mandatory supplementary criteria are occurring?

• A. Observation
• B. Wind data only
• C. Sky condition only
• D. Temperature only

Answer: (A)

When AMOS is functioning properly and no mandatory supplementary criteria are in effect, a human observer isn’t needed to produce the standard weather elements. The automated system handles wind data, sky condition, and temperature automatically and includes them in the automated reports. Observation in this sense refers to a human-observer report of weather, which isn’t required under normal automated operation. If the system is healthy and no extra criteria require manual input, that human observational role is effectively unnecessary.
