Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ICAO airport code?
An ICAO airport code is a four-letter identifier assigned by the International Civil Aviation Organization to airports worldwide. It is used in flight planning, weather reports, and air traffic control communications to uniquely identify each airport.
How do I read a METAR weather report?
A METAR is a routine aviation weather report. It contains the station identifier, observation time, wind direction and speed, visibility, weather phenomena (rain, fog, etc.), cloud layers with heights, temperature and dew point, and altimeter setting (QNH). Aviatr decodes each field and displays it above.
