What this can tell you

  • FAA airport events cover airports nationwide, including Alaska and Hawaii.
  • G-AIRMET and convective (TCF) forecasts cover the contiguous United States only — an empty map area does not mean smooth air.
  • Pilot turbulence reports are voluntary and only appear where a pilot happened to report. Gaps are normal.
  • Everything labelled as planned, possible or likely is a forecast, not a confirmed restriction.
