How far from the airport can you typically receive ATIS broadcasts?

ATIS, or Automatic Terminal Information Service, provides essential information to pilots, including runway information, weather conditions, and other pertinent details about the airport. Typically, ATIS broadcasts are designed to be received by aircraft approaching the airport environment, and the standard range for these broadcasts extends up to 60 miles from the airport. This range ensures that pilots in the vicinity or preparing to arrive can receive the latest information, which aids in their approach planning and situational awareness. The broadcast range helps maintain efficient traffic flow and minimizes communication congestion at busy airports.

The other distances suggested do not align with standard ATIS operational ranges, as they extend beyond what is generally effective for providing timely and relevant information to incoming aircraft.
