C3 Glide is a tool that retrieves live aviation data. This data can be used by pilots, air traffic controllers, and other aviation professionals to make informed decisions about flight plans and operations. The data retrieved by C3 Glide includes:
1. METARs: These are surface observations for a particular airfield or other reporting station location. They provide information about current weather conditions, including temperature, dew point, wind speed and direction, visibility, and other factors.
2. TAFs: Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts (TAFs) are predictive atmospheric conditions for an area within five nautical miles of a particular airfield or other reporting station location. They provide forecasts for the next 24 to 30 hours, and are updated four times a day.
3. NOTAMs: Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) are reports detailing special events or conditions affecting airport and flight operations. These can include runway closures, lack of radar services, rocket launches, hazard locations, airspace restrictions, construction updates, and unusual aircraft activity.
The user provides one or more geographic locations, or reporting stations to retrieve the relevant live aviation data products. These locations can be represented by ICAO airport codes (e.g., KJFK, EGLL, PHNL), IATA airport codes (e.g., MIA, LGA, HNL), and/or latitude and longitude coordinates (e.g., 30.35,-81.013).
The user can also specify the type(s) of live aviation data products they want to retrieve, and can supply a date and/or time for their request. If a date and/or time is not supplied, the current UTC date and time is used.
