Flight planning: Marco Island Executive MKY / KMKY

What a pilot looks at before a flight from or to Marco Island Executive in Marco Island, Florida, in plain English: right now VFR: good flying weather, Wind from the west (260°) at 6 knots. The warnings, reports and winds below come from the government's aviation weather service and the restrictions from the FAA, refreshed every few minutes. For planning, not a briefing: the legal preflight briefing comes from Flight Service (1-800-WX-BRIEF) or the FAA's own tools.

Warnings in force SIGMETs and AIRMETs whose area covers this field

SIGMET E95E: thunderstorms (a convective SIGMET) up to 45,000 ft, moving from the southwest at 5 knots, until 4:55 pm EDT (20:55 UTC).

A SIGMET warns of weather hazardous to all aircraft (thunderstorms, severe turbulence or icing, volcanic ash); an AIRMET of weather that matters to small aircraft and to flying without instruments (moderate turbulence or icing, low cloud, strong surface wind, mountains hidden in cloud). An area is counted when it covers this field's position.

What pilots in the air told air traffic control or Flight Service: turbulence, icing, cloud tops and bases, temperature, wind. An urgent report is one of severe turbulence or icing, or similar.

Winds and temperatures aloft forecast point MIA, 76 nm east of the field · for use 14:00–21:00 UTC

Height	Wind from	Speed	Temperature
3,000 ft	160° (south)	10 knots
6,000 ft	180° (south)	7 knots	17 °C
9,000 ft	180° (south)	10 knots	13 °C
12,000 ft	190° (south)	8 knots	9 °C

Based on data from the 11th at 12:00 UTC; valid on the 11th at 18:00 UTC for use 14:00 to 21:00 UTC; temperatures above 24,000 ft are below zero. Heights are above sea level; the lowest rows are left out where the ground is already that high.

Temporary flight restrictions within 50 nautical miles, from the FAA's list

No temporary flight restriction within 50 nautical miles right now.

Each restriction opens the FAA's own page with the exact area, heights and times. Ordinary notices to air missions (a closed runway, lights out, a crane) are not shown here: the FAA's notice search is not open to sites like this one at this time, and the application for the FAA's data feed is in hand.
