(BR) The expected weather phenomenon or phenomena is coded in TAF reports using the same format, qualifiers, and phenomena contractions as METAR reports (except UP). TAF Decoder - AWC - Aviation Weather Center METAR is a format for reporting weather information. A METAR weather report is predominantly used by pilots in fulfillment of a part of a pre-flight weather briefing, and by meteorologists, who use aggregated METAR information to assist in weather forecasting.. Raw METAR is the most common format in the world for the transmission of observational weather data. METAR - Wikipedia METAR-TYPE. METAR is the scheduled observation taken at the end of each hour. SPECI is an observation taken at an unscheduled time due to certain criteria that is met such as low visibility, low clouds, frozen precipitation, or thunderstorms. METAR HELP - COD Meteorology The Aircrew Quick Reference Guide to the METAR and TAF Codes is designed to help aircrews quickly and clearly translate METAR and TAF codes into plain language. Aircrew Quick Reference to the METAR and TAF Codes The service allows you to load one or more METARs / TAFs from the Internet and to show its translation. There is a database containing all the airports for an easy search of the ID ICAO airport code. It is also possible to show the weather condition and the METARs / TAFs in Google Earth. Flight Utilities Metar / Taf Reader and Decoder Online Type or copy-paste a METAR report in the text box, press "Decode" and the report will be decoded into plain language. Weather & Aviation Page - METAR decoder METAR / TAF READER AND DECODER GADGET. You can use the gadget in igoogle that allows you to load the METAR / TAF with the weather for the preferred ICAO station and to show its whole translation. Flight Utilities Metar / Taf Reader and Decoder Gadget METAR/TAF reports decoding. Type ICAO code of the aerodrome or meteo report content that you wish to decode.

Decoding TAFs - Darren Smith, Flight Instructor, CFI Homepage Reading a METAR report and understanding weather is an important part of flying. When taking the FAA Part 107 exam for commercial operation of a suas, weather and reading METAR / TAF reports make up a large percentage of the test questions, so mastering weather is a must. 4 / 6

All though TAFs and METARs staff are constantly striving to stay on top of new data and keeping information up to date, by the very nature of weather it is prone to change, the owner, webmaster, and staff accept no responsibility for the validity of this information and are not liable for the information this service provides. Welcome to TAFs & METARs The following page will help the pilot to get an overview of the common sources of aviation weather reporting and how to read them. Aviation Weather Reporting, Weather Charts, and Aviation... Arriving into LAX with Metroplex Author: Nick Christopher (NC). Los Angeles ARTCC has undergone a number of airspace procedure updates dubbed "Metroplex." The changes include new and updated arrival and departure procedures designed to make traffic more efficient within this congested space. Los Angeles ARTCC - laartcc.org Severe Thunderstorm Threat Over The South Central U.S.; Inclement Pattern Over The West Coast. Severe thunderstorms containing damaging winds, large hail, a few tornadoes, and heavy rainfall will be possible from portions of the southern Plains to the lower Mississippi River Valley Friday into Friday night. Western Region Frequently Asked Questions Decoding: HFDL uses phase shift keying (PSK) at data rates of 300, 600, 1200 and 1800 bps. The rate used is dependent on the prevailing propagation conditions. HFDL - UDXF - Utility DXers Forum Opus Features: Live Weather Engine uses live or historic METAR data to give instant realistic and detailed weather updates and perfect weather synchronization across all networked systems.
