How To Decode A METAR | ATPL Theory - Meteorology

Knowing about the weather is important for everyone, but especially for pilots! That's why there's an internationally standardised system for reporting current meteorological conditions - METARs. In this video I'll show you how you can read and decode a METAR, with all important sections like ceiling, wind, visibility and present weather covered. Decoding document of the World Meteorological Organisation: https://library.wmo.int/idurl/4/30224 Overview is at the end of the document. Thanks for watching, and if you have any feedback or questions, just let me know!
