Build and Fly -METAR Maps
2026-03-15 15:30 - 17:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | EAA105 Chapter Hangar G1, 12405 SW River Rd Hanger G1, Hillsboro, OR, 97123, United States
Building METAR Maps for our youth to take home.
“A METAR (METeorological Aerodrome Report) is a standardized, hourly, or special aviation routine weather report used by pilots and meteorologists to determine current airport weather conditions. It provides critical, real-time data—including wind, visibility, clouds, temperature, and pressure—essential for safe, informed flight planning and “go/no-go” decisions.” https://www.weather.gov/asos/METAR.html
****Our METAR maps while drawing correct and accurate data from the weather reporting services should not be used for actual flight planning purposes. ****

++This is one of the few projects that we request a small donation. We are requesting a $15.00 donation per computer box that Mentor James Breazeal has built for the youth. Donations are exactly that. The chapter will fund any youth that can use assistance with the cost of the box. ++
Donations can be made directly to James on Sunday via Cash, Check or Venmo.

We will have kits for 20 youth to build on Sunday.

The project will require punching holes in foam core and the maps, running wire, soldering, gluing. The Mentors will have prefabricated wood frame parts for the kids to assemble.

Please reach out to the build and fly email if you have any questions
See you Sunday!

Build & Fly is targeted at youth 10-15 but will be open to all youth. Mentors will make every effort to have age appropriate projects available for younger persons.
Build & Fly programs are always free for youth.
*On a very very rare occasion a nominal fee may be requested for something special that will go home with the youth. Plenty of notice will be given for any projects like this. In this case, financial aid for a youth can be discussed if needed.
