12 minute video and I took a lot of notes along with definitions. It took me an hour to pause and write. Fantastic learning experience. Thank you!
I aced my Part 107 test today and scored 100% thanks to your videos! THANK YOU and I greatly appreciate the time it took for you to make and post this video! :D
Hi, at this vedio timed 1:50 minutes you decoded SLP095 = 1095 millibars. Perhaps you're just confused. I think it should be 1009.5 millibars. If my memory is correct the rule in decoding SLP in metar is that when SLP is followed by Zero (0) you add 10 after SLP as SLP 1009.5. When SLP is followed by 9 or lower number, add 9 after SLP like SLP978.5
You do add 10 in that case, sometimes I talk faster than my brain works. Nice catch!
It's also not millibars, it's a measurement called hectopascels. It's equel to a millibars so I guess it's semantics.
@@ShogunofHarlem1 coz 1 mBars = 1hPa

I appreciate everything you do. You are helping me to one day fly for the airlines faster than planned. Thank you very much from Denver CO
This guy is real help for students good explanation
"FU = smoke"
I know... that is how we feel too about you if we experience smoke in regards to aircraft...
Fumar
LOL true dat
Even years later this video is an amazing resource so thoroughly explained Thank You
Virga is so cool! I had no idea that it existed (thanks part 107 for really making me dig into things that I probably could have gone a lifetime never knowing)!
Great explanations Jon. As a brand new student pilot/Civil Air Patrol scanner I was lost after the RMK part but now it"s all totally clear. Thanks alot.
Glad it helped ya!! Good luck to you!
This seems like an archaic way of handling weather reports with today's available technology. I feel like besides the very basics that I would forget what most of this stuff even means.
It feels strange. This is clearly not something that stays archaic to be compatible with voice communication since missed letters when writing it down would change the whole meaning and if you transmit it digitally why not have your screen display it in long form for you right away?
it's done that way for international standards, this is so if you don't speak english the report can and still be read and understood by pilots!
@@imyourocd I suspect it’s from the days of teletype communications where every character typed cost money and time. It seems completely archaic in 2021.
WOW, So much info. Thank you. It was very helpful, and fairly easy to absorb. I'm getting ready to take the drone pilot test for my Department! Wish me luck!
pretty nice weather in the background, after all the bad weather that could be present in a metar and taf
Checking-in in 2022. Planning to take the exam by eom. Thanks for providing these tutorials!
Awesome presentation. Thank you.
Hi Aviation Pro, Awesome, what a significant pieces of information,i believe every body must watch this tutorial video if you want to be professional flight simmers, many many thanks for sharing this information with us.
This is really helpful, I’m glad I found these videos
I'm glad that they're helping!!
Thank u for this video with great information and explanation and for this channel in general
I'm glad it helped!!
Cool video Mike!!👍
1095 millibars lol! But Jon, I've been sort of binge-watching your videos, and they are extremely helpful. There's plenty of 'watch me fly' videos on TH-cam, but thank you for always making videos with an educational purpose.
Glad they help! Safe Flying!
SLP should be 1009.5 ??
Real nice job.... I fly on a commercial level and there was plenty I just learned... thanks
Ah, I always suspected this is something you learn then forget. Good to know.
Thats an amazing lesson. i stuck with you and took notes, many thanks from ireland
Would love to make it over there one day! Cheers!!
Your videos are so educational. So much information I'm in info overload LOL. Thanks for the education.
Lol I'm glad to hear that... And happy to help!
thanks for sharing your video is really helpful👌👍
Glad it helps! Be sure to share us with your friends on Facebook and around the airport!
Good info!
Thank you for the videos
Easy !! Now ...thanks to you
Great video. You forgot to mention a "1" instead of a "0" means negative numbers for temperature and dew point.
are we supposed to memorize everything, especially from 8:24 going on???
thought i had metars down until i watched this video LoL
I think SLP095 means 1009.5 instead of 1095… but other than that the content is great!
That’s alot to remember
It sure is!
FYI, Mariners also use millibars for pressure reporting.
hello...by the way...what does NOSIQ stand for?
I don't see the difference between Snow Grains, Ice Pellets, Ice Crystals, and GS conceptually. How do you distinguish between them since their names are all kind of synonyms(at least I keep thinking they're all four things talking about one thing)?
There are about 2 dozen distinct types of snow that all depend on temperature, humidity, and other factors. If you can memorize them all (I haven't), you can get a lot of atmospheric information just from looking at snowflakes.
Snow Grains are small grains of ice that don't really accumulate. Basically the "drizzle" equivalent of Sleet.
Ice Pellets or Sleet are frozen raindrops. They may form from snow that has fallen through an inversion and melted before entering freezing air again. They are different from hail in that hail basically starts with an ice pellet and accumulates layers of liquid rain that freezes around it.
Ice Crystals are like a fine, frozen dust that blows on the wind. You get these when it's bitterly cold. Basically low-altitude cirrus clouds.
GS or Snow Pellets are basically small hail that forms from snowflakes. You might expect more or less regular snow mixed in depending on altitude. They are full of air pockets, so they are much lighter than proper hail or ice pellets.
Paraphrased from www.theweatherprediction.com/preciptypes/
What was your source for this so I can look them up in a check ride?
Where can we reference this information on an open book oral exam?
In regards to SLP remark the conversion is a bit off. It should be, add 10 in front if 1st number is less than 5 and add a decimal before last digit. So SLP095 should read 1009.5 millibars not 1095. If 1st digit is greater than 5 then add a 9 in front. For example, SLP898 means 989.8 millibars.
What is CIG 004V009 P0000 I1000 ?? I know what the P0000 is but not the rest. Thank you so much.
I guess "UP" covers your basic rain of frogs situation. :)

what does this stand for at the end of every TAF?? I hope to get an answer thanks
Please explain "P0003"
Is this 00.03 inches of precipitation?
Yes
FLY8MA.com Flight Training Thanks!
fly8ma.com
yes it is
hey what if there is no time period specified for a TEMPO in a TAF.
Please refer the question below
Refer to the following TAF for Zurich. LSZH 261019 20018G30KT 9999 -RA SCT050 BKN080 TEMPO 23012KT 6000 -DZ BKN015 BKN030 BECMG 1518 23020G35KT 4000 RA OVC010 What is the lowest visibility forecast at ETA Zurich 1430 UTC is:
What's the best written reference for all of these codes?
www.weather.gov/media/wrh/mesowest/metar_decode_key.pdf
and i liked + subbed too
I appreciate that!!
"TAFs are valid for a 30 hour time period and are issued 4 times a day at 6 hour intervals." I find this contradictory. If they're valid for 30 hour time period, then why are they re-issued 4 times a day? Can you explain please? Thanks
Used to be valid for 24hrs, now they look out 30hrs (at most airports) and are issued every 6 hours. Each TAF will have the time or issue, and valid times
Reading the TAF and Metars isn't difficult but IMO it is a waste of time. Just write out the weather. No more code. It is just one more thing to memorize. There are plenty of things in aviation that can be considered as outdated and need to be changed in order to simplify training and speed up the process. It all comes down to the time and the money.
what is the 200v270 in this metar "24009G14KT 200V270 10SM" ? Variable bearing of wind?
200v270 means Direction is variable between 200 and 270
thanks!
I bet 90% of pilots see FU and they’re like what the hell is that?
Lol ya, I could see it
what the name of your music I like it
Its the free music from the youtube music library, can't remember the name, but you can find it in there direct from youtube.
I think that's suppose to be 1009.5 millibars..
DietDrPilot European and their silly settings
yup you are right
But aren’t rvrs in meter
I always mistake MI with Mist and SH with shallow
I was wondering what 16015G25kt thank you very much
Glad it helps! Fly Safe!
wind at 160 degres 15 knots and gusts to 25 knots
Means wind is coming from 160* degrees and it’s 15 knots gusting to 25 knots
Shouldn't that be 1009.5 mb?
Yes, correct
Pressure is always rounded off to the next lower value. Similarly, for temperature in positive, you add 0.5 and deduct 0.5 in case of temperature in negative.
For eg. 2.5 degrees C will be 3 degrees C. Similarly - 12.5 degrees C will be 12 degrees C. Hope this helps! 😊
PS, 5 minutes later, I had a remark "curveball" thrown at me: SC5SC3 anyone?
Jacob Aubertin did you figure it out? Was it an error?
These are like kids with their text messages
anyone see the first guy in the intro clip had his window open during take off
Yup, its hot down here in FL!!!
MI= Shallow? You may be, but you don't seem the type
