NOTAMs, METAR and TAF information

Before any flight the pilot in command is required to obtain the current aeronautical information from the AIP and recent changes in the form of NOTAMs. Obtaining and interpreting actual and forecast weather is also part of the preflight procedure.

On this page we have links to METAR/TAF decoding pages and a worldwide METAR/TAF database. Select via country and FIR. To obtain the current METAR and TAF for a single airport (worldwide, any airport with meteo) we have provided three input fields. Just fill in the ICAO code, click the button and the results will be displayed. International NOTAMs can be retrieved in our 4th input field.

Actual International NOTAMs, METAR and TAF reports

Use the forms below to obtain current airport NOTAM, METAR and TAF information. This is convenient if you already know from which airport you want the information. Please enter only one ICAO code at a time. Another window will open with the results of the query.

Or you may visit the sites:

• Defense Internet NOTAM Service
• US NOTAM Office

This link will connect you to a database with worldwide METAR and TAF information.

• Worldwide METAR/TAF Database - (First select country, then FIR and finally the airport)

Decoding METAR and TAF reports

Before trying to read the METAR and TAF reports it is wise to study how these reports are decoded. The two links below each contain an explanation of the codes and some examples.

• Decoding TAF reports
• Decoding METAR reports

Just to be complete we have a pdf file included from the US DOT FAA which explains it all in some more detail.
