We use to have some that would play this game with the winds. ATIS calling winds out of limits and a flight would sit down at the hold short for the runway and ask tower for a wind report about every 30 seconds until they got the answer they wanted and then shoot of ito the wild blue yonder.
In this case - as Cub said - the report from the tower (real time) outweighed the recorded report (ATIS)
- as a note - others would then come up and request that tower update the current ATIS with either the new winds or, more than likely, a problem with the new visibility.
