Metar/WX abbreviations

[Mike Boehler]

Will Metar, or any WX code and abbreviations come back to me without a cheat sheet?

I'm getting frustrated with my inability to remember the codes with my re-introduction to the cockpit.

I test myself on a regular basis, (God knows I can't fly lately) and I regularly can't remember pieces of the METAR.

I almost to a point of finding a cheat sheet online.

I'd rather have some type of laminated card than not being able to decipher when I need to.

Learn French. :wink2:

FU: Fumee (smoke)
GR: Grele (hail)
BR: Brume (mist)

Or:

BR: Baby rain (mist)
GR: Granite rain (hail)

I haven't seen a good mnemonic for FU.
