     METARs are displayed as graphical weather trends for the airport. Values are "colorized" based on you personal minimums to highlight any above-minimum readings. Red means no-go, yellow means caution and green means that the METAR values are within the minimums you setup on the Options Tab.

     

    This display also shows the Aviation Flight Category (VFR, MVFR, IFR, LIFR) and a graphical windsock along with sky condition and present weathers. The raw METAR data is displayed at the bottom of the screen as a reference.

     

    Summary conditions for your "favorite airports" are displayed on this page to give a quick read on the Aviation Flight Category and wind conditions. Touch any of these favorite to get the detailed report for that airport.
