AWOPS Flow Chart

This flow chart outlines the process for obtaining weather information and establishing takeoff and landing criteria for a flight. It involves: 1) Obtaining a METAR for the departure airport and comparing takeoff minimums to the METAR based on aircraft type. 2) If takeoff minimums are met, establishing landing minimums for the departure airport by instrument approach type and comparing to the METAR. 3) If landing minimums are also met, obtaining a TAF for the destination and comparing landing minimums based on the destination weather and runway configuration.
