They are configurable systems but typically report parameters including barometric pressure, wind speed, temperature, visibility conditions, and precipitation, among others. IMC – Instrument Meteorological Conditions IMC refers to meteorological conditions that require pilots to fly under IFR.

No Visual References This scenario is particularly true for instrument pilots flying in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC). There are several criteria that must be met for a pilot to descend below Decision Altitude/Decision Height (DA/DH) or Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA) on an instrument approach.

Weather Go-arounds due to weather occur due to wind shear caused by gusting winds or microbursts. When an aircraft encounters horizontal wind shear, it could be blown off centerline. Similarly, if an aircraft encounters vertical wind shear, it reduces or increases the sink rate.
