av8boy,
Give me bird warnings at any time please. Not just when it is dark!

Turn It Off,
As a pilot, the "fog warning is useless" to me. As a flight preparation issue, it ranks equal with the radio weather reports on the local music station - nice but not enough to be useful.
Before flight I will have received the appropriate TAFs and they will tell me what the forecast visibility is expected to be. If the forecast is for less than 1000m then I know the met office will issue a fog warning for people who don't read the TAFs - that does not include pilots who pre-flight properly.
Fog Warning - so what. Is is going to be 999m visibility or 20m visibility.
I want to know is it going to be fog enough for a visual approach (+800m) or for CAT1 or will it be LVPs and so on. Since all of those require RVR readings perhaps you get the idea.

Moist,
If there was a hard frost how long do you think it would take for the frost to melt from surface areas and aircraft in the shade if the OAT is only reaching +3? Remember that with an air temperature of +3, the ground temperature can be far less and with some windchill in the shade forget about the ice melting quickly.
Regards,
DFC
