Came across a PIREP that had '/RM AWC-WEB-ASA'. What exactly does this
mean? Sounds like something to do with AWC's web site, but what could
that possibly have to do with a pilot giving a PIREP?




I dunno, but from time to time I've seen Pireps that have nothing to
do with aviation, but something like "Go Sox!" in the remarks section.
Sorta like those off-topic conversations you sometimes hear on Unicom

Heh, reminds me of the time I read a PIREP from a C-206 describing
severe turbulence in Katchemak Bay, AK. In the remarks line was: "Don't
go, it's not worth it!"


I saw a PIREP on ADDS from FL000, vicinity of CLS (Chehalis, WA). It
reported ice pellets. The remarks section was "in car on I-5". I think these
things are fairly frequent.
