Media Center - Audio Streams
Times have changed. Digital sound and video are at your fingertip...just one
click away. Our state of the art Media Center offers you many aspects to
experience aviation with more insight and engagement.
Music: When browsing through our web pages you have the option to turn on
or off animating Music. A flash player needs to be installed on your computer to
play the music. The embedded player's "SkipJack" feature remembers the position
of the playhead. When changing web pages, the music should continue rather than
going back to the beginning. The default setting is NO MUSIC since a low
bandwidth connection would need too much time to play the high quality mp3
files. To continue the music when changing pages you need to re-click the Music
Link of the Media Center.
ATIS: This is the Automatic Terminal Information Service of St.
Petersburg/ Clearwater International Airport in real-time*. It is a
automatically recorded message transmitted on a particular frequency, containing
current weather conditions, altimeter setting, active runways, etc., provided at
all major airports.
Ground Control: The air traffic control division of the control tower
that provides clearance and instructions for the ground movement of aircraft and
vehicles along the taxiways and non active runways. You can hear St. Petersburg/
Clearwater International Ground Control in real-time*.
Tower: A terminal facility that uses air/ground communications, visual
signaling, and other devices to provide Air Traffic Services to aircraft
operating in the vicinity of an airport or on active runway areas. You can hear
St. Petersburg/ Clearwater International Tower in real-time*.
Approach: An airport ATC facility that proves approach control services
to aircraft operators; approach control operates between the en route and the
immediate airport airspace areas. In our case Tampa is the approach-radar site.
It is split into various sectors and altitude layers. The most prominent
approach frequency for our airport is 125.3 MHz which covers the lower West
sector of Tampa.
Supported Operating Systems and Supported Browsers: Internet Explorer and
Firefox for PC are supported. Safari and Firefox on a MAC unfortunately are not
supported. MAC users, please contact Microsoft.com and express your interest for
Apple and Microsoft to come to terms with a Digital Rights Management Agreement.
Firewalls and Security Software: Make sure your firewall or security
software allows Windows Media Player to work. If you cannot listen to Windows
Media Files from other sites such as microsoft.com, your security software is
blocking access to Windows Media Player. Contact your security software vendor
or manufacturer for assistance.
Disclaimer: For actual flight planning call
the flight service station at 1-800-WX-BRIEF. We are not responsible for any
technical malfunctions of the audio stream which could bring about an incomplete
or delayed information.

your network connection.
