Frequently Asked Questions

What is an ICAO airport code?

An ICAO airport code is a four-letter identifier assigned by the International Civil Aviation Organization to airports worldwide. It is used in flight planning, weather reports, and air traffic control communications to uniquely identify each airport.

How do I read a METAR weather report?

A METAR is a routine aviation weather report. It contains the station identifier, observation time, wind direction and speed, visibility, weather phenomena (rain, fog, etc.), cloud layers with heights, temperature and dew point, and altimeter setting (QNH). Aviatr decodes each field and displays it above.

What does the flight category (VFR/IFR) mean at this airport?

Flight categories are derived from visibility and cloud ceiling. VFR (Visual Flight Rules) requires visibility above 5 miles and ceiling above 3,000 ft. MVFR (Marginal VFR) applies between 3-5 miles visibility or 1,000-3,000 ft ceiling. IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) applies below 3 miles or 1,000 ft. LIFR (Low IFR) applies below 1 mile or 500 ft ceiling.

What weather information is available for airports?
