Decision aid only. The remote pilot in command is responsible for every flight (§107.19). Current conditions come from the airport ASOS via the Iowa Environmental Mesonet. When the station is stale or missing a field, the Open-Meteo model fills it in (tagged “Model”). Model cloud bases are estimated from the dewpoint spread. Visibility, ceilings and gusts that come only from the model are capped at Caution: checked against a week of station reports, they ran pessimistic, so verify them on site. The GPS check uses the NOAA SWPC Kp forecast. Aircraft limits come from the manufacturers' spec pages and manuals (see the note under the aircraft picker); your product label overrides any spray guidance here.
