The FAA Weather tab will show FAA weather listings.

In Company Data, companies have the ability to set company-wide thresholds for visibility, ceiling, wind or temps. Should an airport require more strict thresholds, the visibility, ceilings, wind and temperature fields can be set on this tab for the specific airport.


In the first gray box, the METARs (Meteorological Terminal Aviation Routine Weather Report) and TAFs (Terminal Aerodrome Forecast) are displayed.


To receive the data in the gray box, ensure the Flight Manager credentials are added to the company data account. More information on this can be found in the Company Data module, on the Collins Aerospace tab. The updates will only populate for the airports on the trip schedule with in the time listed for the look ahead.
