The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will be conducting a test using the New York high frequency (HF) VOLMET station which broadcasts meteorological information to aircraft in flight over the Atlantic Ocean.
During the test which runs from November 3rd to December 20th, the wattage of the New York VOLMET station will be reduced from 5,000 watts to 1,000 watts on all four of the VOLMET station's frequencies.
Business Aviation operators flying in the North Atlantic airspace (NAT ICAO region) are requested to provide feedback on the signal strength of the broadcast to NBAA using the FAA's VOLMET testing form. Download the FAA's VOLMET testing form from the NBAA website at http://web.nbaa.org/public/ops/intl/nat/2008volmettest.php
