Hi, I was using the WX Finder feature of AS 6.5, build 536 and entered some pretty nasty in the advance section, vis less than 1 mile and ceiling less than 200'...this is what I got when I limited the returns to 10: 1: KAFN 020252Z 00000KT 1/2SM FG OVC001 01/00 A2967 RMK AO2 SLP061 60001 T00060000 58018 2: KAUG 020253Z 33006KT 3/4SM BR VV001 01/01 A2967 RMK AO2 SLP052 60000 T00060006 58015 3: KBGR 020253Z 33007KT 3/4SM -RA BR OVC001 02/01 A2965 RMK AO2 SFC VIS 1 DZE32RAB32 SLP042 P0003 60015 T00170011 58045 4: KFVE 020253Z 15009KT 3/4SM BR OVC001 00/00 A2964 RMK AO2 UPB06E16 SLP051 P0000 60000 T00000000 58030 5: KGFL 020253Z 20004KT 1/4SM FG VV001 02/02 A2973 RMK AO2 SLP075 T00220022 58003 6: KGON 020156Z 20006KT 1/2SM FG VV001 10/10 A2967 RMK AO2 RAB13E27 SLP047 P0001 T01000100 7: KLEB 020253Z 15004KT 3/4SM BR OVC001 01/00 A2971 RMK AO2 SLP068 T00060000 58016 8: KMWN 020150Z 30048KT 0SM FZFG VV000 M03/M03 RMK VRY LGT ICG 9: KNLC 020256Z 00000KT M1/4SM FG OVC002 02/02 A3023 RMK AO2 SLP239 T00170017 53004 FZRANO TSNO $ 10: KPOU 020253Z 00000KT 1/4SM -RA FG BKN001 OVC049 06/06 A2973 RMK AO2 RAE0158B19 SLP065 P0000 60001 T00560056 55000You can see that the worst looking wx is at station KMWN, however I can not find that airport or station at the FAA or Myairplane site, nor does it appear in FSNav or FSBuild database's. Where does this info come from?Steve Park

Hi,I went here:http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/metar.shtmland got a report.Here:NH MOUNT WASHINGTON KMWN MWN 72613 44 16N 071 17W 1910 X 7 USHere:http://adds.aviationweather.gov/metars/stations.txtJimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://www.fseconomy.com/

Just wonder why they gave an unmaned, remote weather gathering station an ICAO and FAA airport code...BTW the Mt. Washington Regional airport is:Airport KHIEFull name: Mt Washington ReglCity: WhitefieldState: New HampshireCountry: United StatesCTAF Frequency: 122.80 MHzCenter Frequency: 135.70 MHzFSS Frequency: 122.40 MHzUNICOM Frequency: 122.80 MHzASOS Frequency: 118.52 MHzAltitude: 1072 ftMag. Variation: 15.9 degLat/Lon: N44

I think because it is a joint NOAA and FAA venture where they gather data on extreme weather and icing. The ICAO code makes it convenient to include in the metars...DJ
