Understanding METARs Part 5 (Sky Conditions)

Hey everyone!

This week’s tutorial continues with the METARs series where I cover Sky Conditions and how to read them as well as how they are recorded. It’s important to understand know about the “ceiling” and how to decipher the codes, especially when flying VFR.

Hope this helps everyone have a better understanding of METARs. Post any questions or tutorial requests below.

Happy and Safe Landings!

He did not point out that you said it’s a bad video either.

I think the METAR is one of the most essential things when it comes to flight planning.
If you’re really bored of them, you may check out the dozens of other videos Mark made.

You can learn a lot by them.
