Purpose: This demo page shows how the aviation dashboard displays different flight restriction levels based on weather conditions.
The system uses a concentric restriction model where more restrictive conditions automatically apply to all less experienced pilot categories.
Status Legend
All Pilots Clear: No weather restrictions in effect
Private+ Only: Student pilots restricted (winds ≥20kt or crosswind >10kt)
Commercial/Instrument Only: Student & Private pilots restricted (winds ≥25kt or crosswind >15kt)
All Flights Restricted: All pilots restricted (winds ≥30kt, crosswind >20kt, ceiling <1500ft, visibility <3SM, heat index ≥105°F, or temp ≤5°F)
Note: Temperature restrictions (heat index and cold weather) are applied in addition to wind/visibility restrictions and shown in the flight status display with 🌡️ (heat) and ❄️ (cold) indicators.
