1. A ____ is an unscheduled observation taken when there is a significant change in the weather. ____ reports help alert pilots about rapidly changing weather conditions at an airport.
There are two types of weather observations: METAR and SPECI. METARs, which are reported once per hour, are the most common type of observation. A SPECI is an unscheduled observation taken when there is a significant change in the weather. SPECI reports help alert pilots about rapidly changing weather conditions at airports. Fortunately, METARs and SPECIs are coded using the same format.
