Weather forecast

From the list of selectable flights every destination will come with the expected weather en route. Weather conditions will be different according to destination ( the same within a State) and will effect flight time and, of course, fuel consumption.

En route weather and time of arrival

Weather conditions will effect flight travelling time also depending from the pilot’s intelligence ( for more information see section “Pilot Skills”). Time of arrival will be effected as follows.

Clear: no delay
Clear/Partly cloudy: no delay
Partly cloudy: no delay
Overcast: no delay
Rain/partly sunny: may cause a slight delay
Rain: may cause a slight delay
Snow/partly sunny: may cause a slight delay
Rain showers: may cause a significant delay
Snow: may cause a significant delay
Thunderstorm: may cause a heavy delay
Snowstorm: may cause a heavy delay
Hailstorm: may cause a heavy delay
Fog and low visibility: may cause a remarkable heavy delay
Sandstorm: may cause a remarkable heavy delay

Please note that maximum delay factor is 25%, therefore flying in extremely adverse weather conditions may cause a maximum of 25% time increase of the travelling time expected.

En route weather and fuel consumption

Also fuel consumption will be effected by en route weather conditions as follows.

Clear: no increase
Clear/Partly cloudy: no increase
Partly cloudy: no increase
Overcast: no increase
Fog: no increase
Rain/partly sunny: may cause a slight increase
Rain: may cause a slight increase

Snow: may cause a significant increase
Thunderstorm: may cause a remarkable increase
Snowstorm: may cause a remarkable increase
Hailstorm: may cause a remarkable increase
