Submitting Pilot Weather Reports (PIREPs)

1. UA - Routine PIREP / UUA - Urgent PIREP

2. /OV - Location: Use Airport or NAVAID identifiers only.

• Location can be reported as a single fix, radial DME, or a route segment (Fix- Fix)

Examples: /OV LAX, /OV LAX-SLI120005, /OV PDZ-PSP.

3. /TM – Time: When conditions occurred or were encountered.

• Use 4 digits in UTC.

Examples: /TM 1645, /TM 0915

4. /FL - Altitude/Flight Level

• Use 3 digits for hundreds of feet. If not known, use UNKN.

Examples: /FL095, /FL310, /FLUNKN

5. /TP - Type aircraft: Required if reporting Turbulence or Icing

• No more than 4 characters, use UNKN if the type is not known.

Examples: /TP P28A, /TP RV8, /TP B738, /TP UNKN

6. /SK – Sky Condition/Cloud layers:

• Report cloud coverage using contractions: FEW, SCT, BKN, OVC, SKC

• Report bases in hundreds of feet: BKN005, SCT015, OVC200

• If bases are unknown, use UNKN

• Report cloud tops in hundreds of feet: TOP120

Examples: /SK BKN035, /SK SCT UNKN-TOP125, /SK OVC095-TOP125/ SKC

7. /WX - Weather: Flight visibility is always reported first. Append FV reported with SM.

• Report visibility using 2 digits: FV01SM, FV10SM

• Unrestricted visibility use FV99SM.

• Use standard weather contractions e.g.: RA, SH, TS, HZ, FG, -, +

Examples: /WX FV01SM +SHRA, /WX FV10 SM -RA BR.

8. /TA - Air temperature (Celsius): Required when reporting icing

• 2 digits, unless below zero, then prefix digits with M.

Examples:/TA 15, /TA 04 /TA M06

9. /WV - Wind: Direction in 3 digits, speed in 3 or 4 digits, followed by KT.

Examples: /WV 270045KT, /WV 080110KT

10. /TB - Turbulence:

• Report intensity using LGT, MOD, SEV, or EXTRM

• Report duration using INTMT, OCNL or CONS when reported by pilot.

• Report type using CAT or CHOP when reported by pilot.

• Include altitude only if different from /FL.

• Use ABV or BLO when limits are not defined.

• Use NEG if turbulence is not encountered.

Examples: /TB OCNL MOD, /TB LGT CHOP, /LGT 060, /TB MOD BLO 090, / TB NEG

11. /IC - Icing:

• Report intensity using TRACE, LGT, MOD or SEV

• Report type using RIME,CLR, or MX

• Include altitude only if different than /FL.

• Use NEG if icing not encountered.

Examples: /IC LGT-MOD RIME, /IC SEV CLR 028-045, /IC NEG

12. /RM - Remarks: Use to report phenomena that does not fit in any other field.

• Report the most hazardous element first.

• Name of geographic location from /OV field fix.

Examples: /RM LLWS +/-15KT SFC-003 DURC RWY22 JFK

/RM MTN WAVE, /RM DURC, /RM DURD, /RM MULLAN PASS

/RM BA RWY 02L BA MEDIUM TO POOR 3IN DRY SN OVER COMPACTED SN
