In North America, we pronounce the first syllable to rhyme with "day", but you shouldn't need to worry about it -- I don't think I've ever heard the word "ATIS" spoken on an ATIS. It usually starts like this: "Ottawa International Airport, information charlie, conditions at one four zero zero zulu ..." and ends "... inform ATC on initial contact you have information charlie."

Somewhere Ive got a CAP (CAP56?) that gives the non-std pronunciations for common aeronautical use in UK airspace. But we certainly say "Ay-tiss" at Prestwick. TBH we dont use the term that much , its usually just "information November" or whatever letter is current. Often "information" is missed entirely as in "Prestwick Tower, G-ATOM at Papa with November, request taxi" If the ATIS changes the Tower may add " Information Mike is current" ie better re-tune and listen again cos November is history.

I've just flown from Insch (EG56) to EGPD with AI set to 3. There was no AI
traffic on the frequency for the first 5 minutes or so, but about half way to
EGPD it got very busy, and I was no. 5 when calling downwind. I think some of
the random generation algorithms might need a bit of tweaking. I don't think
the tower AI handles level 3 very well either - I got told to go around when
the runway was clear.
Used the festival server for the first time as well. Nice work guys! It
really does add something having the voices, even if some of it does sound a
bit strange. It's much harder to follow what's going on and remember the
call-signs than when reading the screen.
I wonder if there's any scope for giving it phonetic help/hints for stuff it
doesn't pronounce well, such as "ATIS". In fact, come to think of it, I'm not
sure I know how ATIS should be pronounced - I always assumed it was "Ay-tis",
but maybe "aah-tis" is correct?
Cheers - Dave
