What is AMA?

The Self service Meteorological Aviation (AMA) is a service through the Internet, provided by the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) through which the aeronautical users through restricted access, can access the reports and updated forecasts of both area and Aerodrome, which will inform existing and projected weather for their flight.

 

How can I access AMA?

Aeronautical users can access, via the Internet, the AMA. In Http://ama.aemet.es the users can find the application form for access.
