Im not sure what someone would be referring to with that statement though.

 

[doctordialtone]

Im not sure what someone would be referring to with that statement though.

If the current Atis info was named "Sunrise" that would apply.

But they would probably use "Sierra".

 

[murphcc1]

They would never use SUNRISE for ATIS info.........it is UNIVERSALLY sierra.........used worldwide........ENGLISH is the universal language of aviation.

and a guy many years ago (~1990)giving the atis info in his best 'dracula' did not happen.
at the essex county airport in new jersey for Halloween morning.
could it be that they are on the "sunrise" part of Texas ?
i am on the west coast of Florida and many things get called sunset.
let to OP answer...

Besides the sun setting into the western horizon, what's is used for there in aviation speak?

 

[wtp]

nothing here, i was trying to point out the some folks might have a sense of humor or a local thing going on.

 

[scanthewaves]

When I heard it on ATIS it said Sunrise is at ... when the pilot said it, it was have Sunrise I think, only thing I can think of it’s a landmark maybe “The Sunrise Mall”

 

[scanthewaves]

was it "i have sunrise" ?

Yes I believe they are saying at or have Sunrise, maybe as a landmark like Shamrock island, only thing around Corpus would be the Sunrise mall, I guess.
