Automated METARs (ASOS, AWOS)

It wouldn’t be really cool to click on an airport without ATC and the new click on the METAR and hear it, #1 it always has density altitude in the automated METAR (not always in the click METAR), #2 It basically kinda decodes it for you, #3 and most importantly, you can focus on the flight while you listen to the METAR instead of having to click on it and read it.
I hope you guys thinks this is a good Idea too

Sounds like ASOS/AWOS to me and yes definitely this would be cool

Yeah I use it all the time flying VFR IRL, I never check the METAR in flight really.

Agreed. Would make flying into non-towered airfields a lot more cool.

I love this idea! I just got to hear it for the first time IRL today since I was on a seaplane trip in Alaska and we were flying into PANCs lake hood and we could here the controllers and all the information we needed at the same time so we didn’t miss anything important.
