For everybody that is annoyed by us american pilots whining about ride reports and light chops while flying in the CONUS. I'm going to try to shed some light here...
Most domestic operations in the US, suffice their wx info pakcet requirements with giving us only the TAF/METARS of DEP,DEST,ALTN and AREA airports... nobody here gets a nice SIGWX chart or any other chart for that matter.
Some of us have turb plot messages but for the most part no charts at all.
Thats why the constant questioning about ride reports.... we really dont have the info in the cockpit.
