That's done by fgfs, which has easy access to the airport database. metar doesn't. It's meant to be a simple test app for the METAR parser and a way to output weather data on the console. DB lookup is beyond its scope. If a lot of people use it that way, then one could, of course, think about adding it. m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
