The Pilot Reports (PIREPs) Page contains 2 major sections:
-
The first section is a table containing links to GIF images
which are pre-generated and ready for viewing. They are
re-created about every 15 minutes. Plots of
aircraft icing
and turbulence are available
as well as the sky and weather conditions reported by aircraft.
-
The second section contains a link to a web FORM which allows users
to enter his/her own plotting information to obtain a customized
PIREPs plot. Submitting the information on the FORM runs a process
to create a GIF image of the most recent data possible and allows
a user to create a region of their choosing. It does, however,
take longer for the resulting GIF image to appear since the process
of creating the image must be run. Another
help page for the
FORM exists.
