"in uk airspace is there any service that you can use to obtain airport ATIS information without tuning into the ATIS channel itself"

"Yes, there are a few services that you can use to obtain airport ATIS information in UK airspace without tuning into the ATIS channel itself. These services include:

• NATS Aeronautical Information Service (AIS): The NATS AIS provides a variety of aeronautical information, including ATIS information, for airports in the UK. You can access the NATS AIS online or by calling their information line.
• FlightAware: FlightAware is a flight tracking service that also provides ATIS information for some airports in the UK. You can access the FlightAware ATIS information on their website or by using their mobile app.
• ForeFlight: ForeFlight is a flight planning and weather app that also provides ATIS information for some airports in the UK. You can access the ForeFlight ATIS information on their website or by using their mobile app.
• SkyDemon: SkyDemon is another flight planning and weather app that provides ATIS information for some airports in the UK. You can access the SkyDemon ATIS information on their website or by using their mobile app.

To find the ATIS information for a specific airport, you can use the search function on the website or app of the service you are using. Once you have found the ATIS information, you will be able to see the latest weather conditions, active runways, and other important information for the airport."

I know generative AI doesn't tell the truth all of the time but is there such a facility in Sky Demon? I haven't been able to find anything yet. 

It would be something that I probably would not use, as the speeds at which I travel in GA do not really require it, neither does my approach set up and execution.

Having said that, there are probably SD users out there who would benefit from it if they are flying more complex or performance limited aircraft. For the complex aircraft it is useful to know the runway and approach type in use so they can set up and prepare it in whichever navigation equipment they are using (think RNAV approach, where some prep and prior briefing is needed). For the performance-limited aircraft they may need to know the Runway Condition Report (dry, wet, contaminated etc) to ensure they have landing performance. Neither of these pieces of information are available on a METAR.

I suppose it boils down to just how many SD users would fall into those categories and I would imagine that number is very small and probably not worth Tim & Co adding it as a feature.

Nice gadget though and cheaper than ACARS.
