Flight Category Checker

Enter an airport's ICAO code to get its current VFR / MVFR / IFR / LIFR flight category from the live METAR.

How this works

The category is computed from the current ceiling (lowest broken/overcast layer) and prevailing visibility, using the standard US thresholds. Live METAR is from AviationWeather.gov, cached ~10 minutes.

For reference and training only. Not for navigation or flight planning — always verify against official current sources.
