Flight categories for METAR and TAF reports are the same as described in the above Nearest
Weather section.

The age of METARs and TAFs are explicitly stated via the OBSERVED line of the report. Reports
are considered:

METAR

o Current (white): Data is between 0 and 70 minutes old.
o Stale (yellow): Data is between 70 and 120 minutes old.
o Expired (red): Data is at least 120 minutes old.

TAF

o Current (white): Data is newer than the end of the TAF forecast period.
o Stale (yellow): Not applicable.
o Expired (red): Data is older than the end of the TAF forecast period.

TFR Depiction

Known published TFRs, both upcoming and active TFRs are depicted on the map page as shown
below. After the TFR expires, it is no longer displayed.

As of mid-2014, the FAA's ADS-B data broadcast no longer includes graphical
depictions of Stadium TFRs. Although SkyView retains the capability to show them,
at this the FAA has given no indication that they intend to restore them to the data
that is sent via ADS-B. Therefore, Stadium TFRs will not be included in the ADS-B
TFR graphical depiction on SkyView's map page. Pilots are reminded the ADS-B
services are considered advisory and supplementary information only. Dynon
recommends that you always obtain official briefing information about all aspects
of your flight, including TFRs.
