Common questions

Does Zürich Airport (LSZH) issue a METAR?

Yes. Zürich Airport issues its own METAR and TAF, updated through the day. The latest is shown above.

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.
