METAR Reading & Follow: Checkride Practice! Aircraft Dispatchers & Pilots: Aviation Weather Flight
**Note I made an error in the second METAR which should be read as "wind from 120 degrees..." and I said "170." Thanks to my awesome viewers for catching it!
Do you know what everything in the METAR actually means? In this video, I read a selection of METARs aloud with the METAR displayed so you can learn the coding and important weather report information, especially for pilots and aircraft dispatchers. In my experience, some aircraft dispatch examiners and pilot examiners WILL ask about ALL the codes during the aircraft dispatch oral and practical exams. Aircraft dispatchers also MUST be able to read aloud the METAR for crew briefings and for practical tests. It's great to be able to decode all the METAR remarks, and they give helpful data for pilots and dispatchers.
Check out my study & decoding guides (PDF files on my website) to help you understand and learn to translate remarks and learn the METAR codes - https://www.theaviationvault.com/stud...
