Notes:
- Although the weather data is being collected from an authoritative source, and every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the data, the LED Wx Map should not be used as the only or primary weather briefing tool for aviation. It is helpful to gain a high-level perspective of current weather across the region but must be backed up with weather briefings and analysis for your planned route of flight and any alternates.
- The map is programmed to get weather updates every 5 minutes. The weather information is taken from current METARs for select airports where Aviation Weather makes this data available. Weather data is only updated by the airport and Aviation Weather every hour. If the weather is rapidly changing the airport might more frequently make weather updates; updating the map every 5 minutes is a good balance of timeliness without unnecessary use of the WiFi. Future changes in the Aviation Weather API or the METAR data being provided by the airport might mean that weather data for an airport is no longer available. When the data isn’t available the LED for that airport will remain dark. Where possible, software updates with instructions will be made available to correct the function.
