TAF = Terminal Aerodrome Report FALA = Lanseria (all airports and aviation areas in South Africa begin with FA as described my the International Civil Aviation Organisation ICAO) 120400Z = The time that the TAF was issued which was at 04H00 UTC on 12 October so 06H00 in RSA. All times are quoted in UTC 1206/1306 = the timeframe that the TAF is valid for. In this case it is valid from 06H00 on the 12th to 06H00 on the 13th. 03010KT is the wind direction of 030 degrees and speed on 10 knots 9999 is the visibility in KM. In this case visibility is 10km or more BKN025 is the cloud cover in Octas as well as the height of the base of the cloud. In this case the cloud cover is 5-7 Octas at an altitude of 2500 feet TEMPO 1206/1207 5000 BR -SHRA BKN010 FEW040CB TEMPO = Temporarily 1206/1207 is the date and time for which this occurs ie 06h00 to 07h00 on the 12th 5000 = decrease in visibility from 10km+ to 5km BR = Mist -SHRA = minor thunderstorm with rain BKN010 is the low level cloud of 5-7 octas at 1000 feet FEW040CB is the mid level cloud of 1-2 octas at 4000 feet with embedded Cumulonimbus clouds If you want I can go on to decode the rest of the TAF and then the metars?

It sounds too much like hard work trying to figure this out!!! I prefer the easy way like they give it on weather channels.....lol
MONS Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Warrior Princess... arent you going out tonight? Are you going to make it that early???
DeltaAlphaMike Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Ok then there is also the option of phoning the net office as well? But they will give the exact same data in verbal rather than written. The weather reports us pilots have to live with =) Warrior Princess 1
MONS Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 I sure hope the weather channels have NOT made a mistake with their predictions!!!
Warrior Princess Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Warrior Princess... arent you going out tonight? Are you going to make it that early??? Yes i am, but i told the other half that I'm leaving at 10pm latest and not drinking!!!I am not giving up my ride tomorrow!!!
