Pireps – new format

Asked by: 3928 views Weather

The pirep format has changed where they put an airport identifier prior to the UA. Can someone explain the meaning of the airport identifier before the UA?

    The initial airport code preceding the UA or UUA is the nearest weather reporting station to the location of thee pilot report.

    As usual, it’s discussed in the AIM. In this case, Section 7−1−19, with the misleading title :D, “Pilot Weather Reports (PIREPs)”
