A METAR (METeorological Airport Report) is an aviation weather observation (not forecast) report. <\/strong>This international code was developed by ICAO members and is approved by the World Meteorological Organization.
\nThis type of message is produced every hour and provides information on weather conditions at an airfield at a given time.<\/p>\n

A SPECI <\/strong>is identical to a METAR, except that it is not produced on a regular basis , but on an ad hoc basis<\/strong>. This is a special observation message highlighting a specific meteorological event that has occurred since the last METAR or SPECI was published.<\/p>\n

TAF\/SHORTTAF: <\/strong> Terminal<\/strong> Airport<\/strong> Forecast<\/strong>is a forecast<\/strong> for an airfield. It is written every three hours. A TAF<\/strong> is valid for 24 or 30 hours (forecast updated every 6 hours), while a SHORTTAF<\/strong> is valid for 9 hours.<\/p>\n

A METAR<\/strong> looks like this:

It sounds complex, but each element block corresponds to an easy-to-understand element such as wind speed, date, etc.<\/p>\n

METAR AUTO:
\n<\/strong>Certain aerodromes equipped with a weather station can, thanks to various sensors, produce and broadcast weather observation messages without human intervention. These automatic observation messages are broadcast under the name METAR AUTO. Identical information measured automatically and identical to that in a METAR<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

classic: wind, air temperature, dew point, QNH, RVR is calculated from on-site sensors…
\nLet’s take this example, which is very complicated because it includes all the options that an airport could report:LFPO 041300Z 36020KT 320V040 1200 R26\/0400 +RASH BKN040TCU 17\/15 Q1015 RETS M2 26791299In the simple version, here, Orly airport indicates that the aircraft landing on runway 26 will have to face a “wind” “varying” from “20 knots” “blowing from true North” with “visibility at 1200m” etc…<\/p>\n

THE OACI CODE IS LFPO<\/strong> WHICH ISPARIS-ORLY AIRPORT<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

All aerodromes in the world have a unique ICAO code, which is a 4-letter location indicator.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 1st letter identifies a sector in the world (France is in sector L) <\/strong> <\/li>\n
  • 2nd letter identifies a country in the global sector (F for France)<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • 3rd letter and 4th letter identify an aerodrome<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The AUTO<\/strong> flag is inserted when the message contains a fully automated observation, i.e. one carried out without human intervention.<\/p>\n

    The NIL<\/strong> flag is inserted if the observation message is missing. It marks the end of the message.<\/p>\n

    WIND FROM 360\u00b0 AT 20 KNOTS (KT)<\/p>\n

    This is normally a five-digit group indicating the ten-minute average wind speed, followed without a space by an abbreviation to specify the unit used to transmit the wind speed. The first three digits indicate the wind direction. The last two, wind speed, are terminated by the wind speed unit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Wind direction is indicated in multiples of 10\u00b0 true, rounded to the nearest multiple or number. Wind direction values below 100\u00b0 are preceded by a 0, and a wind blowing from true north is numbered 360. Speed values below 10 units are preceded by a 0. The wind direction is headwind when the aircraft is on the heading indicated in the METAR. In addition, if during the ten minutes preceding the observation, the maximum wind speed in the gusts (averaged over 3 seconds) exceeds the average wind speed by at least 10 knots (20 km\/h) or more, this maximum speed is indicated, directly after the average speed, by the letter G followed by this maximum wind speed.<\/p>\n

    Wind direction is indicated as VRB (variable wind) instead of mean wind direction when :<\/p>\n

      \n
    • wind speed is less than 3 knots (6 km\/h) and the total variation in wind direction over 10 minutes is greater than or equal to 60\u00b0.<\/li>\n

        The 4 digits represent visibility in meters. One or two letters can be added to define visibility in a given geographical area. In some cases, it’s possible to have more than one piece of visibility information in a row. In AUTO METARs, when the visibility sensors are located in such a way that no variation in direction can be indicated, the indicated visibility value is followed by NDV.<\/p>\n
