LA County Sheriff Gets Own Belfort AWOS at Santa Catalina

Seeing the need for current and accurate weather at the Pebbly Beach on Santa Catalina Island, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department contracted with Belfort Instrument (Booth No. 5914) to install an AWOS AV at the helistop there.

Belfort’s FAA-approved AWOS AV provides up-to-the-minute weather conditions to ground personnel and aircraft operators through a scalable, fully automated system that includes all the hardware and software needed, including PC terminal, telephone, Internet and VHF radio transmissions. The key sensors for the unit are designed, manufactured and distributed by Belfort.
