This is a great document. The only thing that I believe should be included is that of manual observations when ASOS is down and/or sensors are not working. That would also require notifications to proper authorities to repair/correct the issue. This would mean an ATC would need to be responsible for a period of time to make these notifications and would need ample time to take manual obs and call them in to FSS.  |

Only briefly near the beginnig is any of that mentioned about ... "backup and augmented" when required ...
Feel free to insert your one language ... we can always do a re-write ... or can go more in depth on the backup requirements and documentation when discussing one on one ...
btw - has anyone heard that the NWS is doing away with paper copies of the form 10 and only going to have "e-forms" ...
I heard this a year or so ago and we brought up the likely situation that the paper form 10's would be needed in a power outage issue ... so where do we document if we are without power ... ? On scratch paper???
Nothing back ...

At our office, I require my observers to do 5 practice observations a month on the e-form. It is the MFM-10C. I have them fill it out and print it out. it takes up less space, but still can be documented. When in back-up mode, I still have them fill out an original -10C that we also keep on site. It is easy to keep up with both just fine. The new e-form system works just for us.
