Can I fly from Cotswold Airport today?

Raw weather is only half the answer. Set your own minima once, and Threshold runs this same METAR and TAF against your limits, then pins a verdict to your Lock Screen and flips it the moment conditions move.

Common questions

Does Cotswold Airport (EGBP) issue a METAR?

No. Cotswold Airport does not issue its own METAR. The nearest reporting station is RAF Fairford (EGVA), about 10nm E, shown above as the best proxy.

What is a personal minima?

Your own line in the sand: the cloudbase, visibility, wind, crosswind and gust limits you will not fly below. Threshold stores yours and checks live weather against them, so the go/no-go call is yours, made once, not guessed every time.

Where does this weather come from?

Live METAR and TAF from public aviation weather feeds, updated about every 10 minutes. Always confirm against your official pre-flight brief.
