Common questions

Does Mainz-Finthen Airfield (EDFZ) issue a METAR?

Yes, normally. Mainz-Finthen Airfield issues its own METAR and TAF, but its feed is quiet right now, so the nearest reporting station (Wiesbaden Army Airfield, ETOU) is shown above as the best proxy.

What is a personal minima?

Your own line in the sand: the cloudbase, visibility, wind, crosswind and gust limits you will not fly below. Threshold stores yours and checks live weather against them, so the go/no-go call is yours, made once, not guessed every time.

Where does this weather come from?

Live METAR and TAF from public aviation weather feeds, updated about every 10 minutes. Always confirm against your official pre-flight brief.
