For those studying for part 107 - Weather

[MrGreenjeep97]

Just wanted to share this resource I stumbled across when I first started studying for Part 107. This site provides METARs for a given Airport, and then breaks down each segment below it. It helped me a lot when I first started (the link is for a METAR for a local regional airport near me):

What are you trying to say?

TAFS are esentially the same as METARs, except a TAF is a forecast, not just a report. A taf will show you predicted/projected weather for specific future time frames, as well as how long that forecast is good for.

All the TAF and METARS on the test reference a specific example.....the METAR is easy to read but the TAF has a lot of peculiar abbreviations...

I would pull up skyvector.com and get airport id's from different airports, and use them to study. It isn't hard to decipher once you've done several.

Also try the app: Avia Weather. It gives the weather for your selected airports and if you click on them you can choose between decoded and raw (the test format).
