Use this super simple, quick text service to get METARs and TAFs before your next flight! Just send texts to 358-782 (FLT-SVC) using the format shown in this short video, and you are on your way with a very fast automated weather text service!

**DISCLAIMER: ALWAYS get a weather briefing (documented!) before ALL flights! This is NOT the only weather check you should use before flying. Please see my other videos about getting a weather briefing and using the new Aviation Weather Center website.**

Here are several helpful study guides about United States METARs on my website, The Aviation Vault, for your personal study! www.theaviationvault.com/study-guides

Check out my other weather product videos and dispatcher test prep assistance! I also have help videos for passing the instrument pilot knowledge exam and your instrument checkride!
