How to View METAR for the Destination Airport in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on Boeing 787
Hello fellow pilots,
I’m reaching out to the community for guidance on how to accurately view METAR information for the destination airport when flying the Boeing 787 in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. While I’ve explored some options such as the FMC (Flight Management Computer) and ATC communications, I’m uncertain if these are the most reliable or efficient methods.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
- Using the FMC:
- Navigating to the Weather Request or Destination METAR options in the FMC.
- Entering the ICAO code of the destination airport to retrieve the METAR.
- Relying on ATC Communications:
- Listening for METAR updates provided by ATC during approach or requesting weather updates via the ATC menu.
- Exploring the EFB (Electronic Flight Bag):
- Checking if the EFB includes a weather app that provides real-time METAR information.
However, I’m not entirely sure if these steps cover all possible options or if there’s a simpler way to access this vital information.
If you have experience with this or know of any other reliable methods to view METAR in the Boeing 787, I’d greatly appreciate your insights! Feel free to share your techniques, and if possible, include screenshots or detailed instructions.
Thank you in advance for your help, and happy flying!
