10–25 aerodromes
A configured European station set, with Madrid–Barajas and Stockholm Arlanda available as initial reference stations.
Private technical preview / pilot access
Verify the feed.
Keep the evidence.
Evaluate how METAR messages reach your data pipeline, where source paths diverge and what timestamp evidence is available—before a feed becomes a production dependency.
Prepare a pilot requestEvaluation shape
A bounded technical pilot.
The purpose is to test collection, provenance and operational fit with a real upstream path. Commercial terms, data rights and implementation boundaries are agreed before licensed data is connected.
60–90 days
Long enough to inspect scheduled reports, corrections, missing observations and normal source-path variation.
Exact TAC retained
Original representations, fingerprints and distinct observation, source and Terminal Weather timestamps.
Workspace first
A scoped operational view for station state, source evidence and investigation. API access remains a planned pilot option.
Measured criteria
Completeness, source-path freshness, revision handling, representation integrity and collector availability.
Non-safety-critical
Analytics and infrastructure evaluation only. Not for navigation, pilot briefing, aircraft control or operational meteorology.
Evaluation plan
A decision at the end—not an open-ended trial.
The schedule is adapted to the upstream delivery method, but the evidence gates stay fixed. A 60-day evaluation covers the core observation period; days 61–90 are used only when a longer baseline or integration review is useful.
- 00 / BEFORE START
Define the boundary
Agree stations, data rights, message types, source-clock semantics, delivery cadence and written success criteria.
- 01 / DAYS 1–10
Connect and verify
Validate exact TAC capture, timestamp provenance, correction handling and source-failure behaviour.
- 02 / DAYS 11–60
Observe the baseline
Measure completeness, path freshness, revisions and content variants across the configured aerodromes.
- 03 / DAYS 61–90
Review and decide
Where required, extend the baseline, test the proposed integration and document findings against the agreed criteria.
