METAR is a format for reporting weather conditions and is largely used by pilots as part of a pre-flight briefing.
TAF or Terminal Aerodrome Forecast is used to determine weather conditions within a five-mile radius of the center of the airport's runway complex.
Both of these weather forecasting methods are used by a pilot while planning their flights around Europe using RocketRoute.
Accurate METAR TAF Data
You can access METAR/TAF reports in several ways on RocketRoute. The easiest way is to search on the maps of airports around your destination, simply click on an airport and the latest report will be displayed. While on a journey airports are displayed within a five-mile distance on route allowing up-to-date local information from weather stations.
A METAR/TAF report is also detailed in your briefing pack through RocketRoute. All the information will be to hand at the point of planning your flight so you have all the correct information ready for take-off. All the information comes directly from an accurate and authoritative source in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), one of Europe’s highest-quality providers of flying information.
