Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions we get about our weather alerts below or connect with our team to learn more.
What is an aviation weather station?
An aviation weather station is an on-site system that continuously measures real-time weather conditions at your airfield, not miles away. It captures critical variables like wind speed and gusts, temperature, humidity, precipitation, and heat stress, giving ground operations a true picture of conditions on the ramp and at the hangar.
Why do airports and FBOs need an on-site aviation weather station?
Weather can change fast. An on-site aviation weather station ensures decisions are based on what’s actually happening at your location. That means fewer unnecessary shutdowns, faster returns to operation, and safer, more defensible calls for ground crews and leadership.
What is a lightning detection system for aviation?
A lightning detection system for aviation monitors lightning strikes around your airfield in real time, including cloud-to-cloud and cloud-to-ground strikes. It identifies nearby lightning threats and developing storm conditions, triggering alerts before lightning becomes a danger—so ramp activity, fueling, and outdoor work can be paused early and resumed confidently.
How does a lightning detection system improve aviation safety?
Lightning is one of the highest-risk hazards for ground operations. A lightning detection system removes guesswork by automatically alerting teams when lightning enters predefined safety zones—and sending an all-clear when it’s safe to return. Everyone gets the same message at the same time, improving response and protecting people, aircraft, and equipment.
Can an aviation weather station integrate with alerts and notifications?
Yes. Perry Weather integrates on-site weather and lightning data with automated alerts delivered through mobile notifications, email, and on-site warning systems. Ramp crews, dispatch, and operations teams stay aligned with clear, real-time instructions.
Is historical data available from aviation weather stations?
Yes. Perry Weather continuously logs weather conditions every 5 minutes in addition to every weather delay, creating audit-ready records for compliance documentation and post-event analysis. Every decision is backed by data you can trust.
How accurate are aviation weather stations compared to public weather data?
Public weather data often comes from stations miles away. Perry Weather measures conditions where your operations happen on your airfield, making it far more accurate and reliable for aviation safety and operational decision-making.
