Title: Training Page Broken Link: Wind, Visibility, and Weather Phenomena
Post by: Jason Crist on March 24, 2022, 08:52:45 PM

I found a minor issue in the training page here:
https://academy.vatusa.net/mod/page/view.php?id=68&forceview=1

This link is currently broken:
http://www.faraim.org/aim/aim-4-03-14-490.html

As of the writing of this post this is the page I think that was intended:
https://faraim.org/faa/aim/book/page_511.html

I imagine it will not likely work for much beyond a year though since the FARAIM is updated often.
This page may be more reliable:
https://www.aviationweather.gov/metar/symbol

Personally I find this page very helpful as you can decode live METARs from around the world from the must recent to up to 36 hours in the past:

Hope this helps and Thanks to those that built the training!
