Figure 12 shows: METAR KINK 121845Z 11012G18KT 15SM SKC 25/17 A3000. What do "11012G18KT" and "SKC" mean?

Why: Per the Remote Pilot Study Guide's METAR field list, wind is reported as direction-in-tens-of-degrees-true, then speed in knots, with "G" introducing the peak gust — so 11012G18KT is 110° true at 12 knots gusting to 18. SKC is one of the sky-condition contractions meaning sky clear.

  • Reads METAR wind direction as magnetic; the study guide specifies the wind group gives the direction the true wind is blowing from, not magnetic.
  • Misreads the field entirely — visibility (15SM) is in statute miles, not nautical miles, and SKC means clear, not overcast.
