PPL learning tools

METARs and NOTAMs, explained

Paste a report, load a training example, and follow each coded group in plain English.

Training aid only. This is not an official briefing or flight-planning service. Always verify aviation information against current official sources.

METAR analysis

Decode a routine or special aviation weather report group by group.

Load current METAR

Enter a four-character ICAO airport code. The latest available observation will be fetched and analyzed automatically.

Only the ICAO code is sent through this portal to AviationWeather.gov. No airport-code history is stored.

Pasted input is analyzed locally in this browser. A live lookup fills this field with the provider's raw report.

Scope: common ICAO and US groups, including wind, visibility, RVR, weather, clouds, temperature, pressure, trends, and remarks.

Bundled example: synthetic training data, not a live observation.

No operational verdicts: this tool explains the report; it does not decide whether a flight is suitable.
