I have received several messages from people asking me how to read the METARs, what is it, what do all the codes mean, etc. So today, I am sharing a tutorial video that covers the basics of reading METARs. This is just the first part of a video series that will follow in the near future. METARs are not difficult to learn or read, but there is a lot of information that simply cannot be shared in one short video. This video will simply cover the basics of it and how its broken down. Future videos will elaborate more on each section.
Hopefully this will help anyone that has any questions to understand the basics. If you have any questions, feel free to leave them below!
It’s ICAO, that was a typo on my part (I do know that it is ICAO). I will make the correction when I cover it in the video for that section. Thanks for bringing to my attention. I have added an annotation to the video. Thanks guys!
Great Mark!
However, you still need to teach us a lot before you enter the live side, for Example, how to use trim properly, how to use lights Properly, how to deal with winds in Takeoff or Crusing, how to well-park your Aircraft…etc so pilot can be Acknowledged well before being more advanced, also these things will give the pilot an idea on what will go on next, and will give him a great result on the grond, during Takeoff, Crusing, and Landing!
