- It treats missing or stale forecast data as a no, and labels its displayed day as an example, not a forecast.
Field notes
The page describes hourly ratings against limits set separately for each aircraft, with possible trips extending beyond the local circuit. Route planning is said to account for terrain, wind aloft, known destination opening hours and return before sunset. The displayed Swansea scenario is illustrative only; the operator says pilots should still check official aviation forecasts, TAF/METAR and NOTAMs.
