ppg.report's Introduction

- ⚠️ Warning! Fly at your own risk.

🪂 PPG.report

Weather report tailored for paramotor pilots. Consolidates data from multiple sources. Worldwide coverage, with extra information within the United States.

🌏 Open-Meteo for international winds aloft and hourly weather forecasts
🌏 Nearby Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts, if available
🌏 Aviation Weather Center SIGMETs (international support), G‑AIRMETs, and CWAs
🇺🇸 The NOAA Rapid Refresh Op40 analysis
🇺🇸 NWS hourly weather forecast
🇺🇸 National Weather Service active alerts
🇺🇸 Federal Aviation Administration TFRs

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

`pnpm start`

Runs the app in the development mode. Open http://localhost:5173 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.

`pnpm test`

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.

`pnpm build`

Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!

Deploying

Using a reverse proxy such as Nginx, configure the following:

Serve index.html for 404 requests, no caching
- Aggressively cache /assets
Create the following reverse proxy endpoints:
- REQUIRED endpoints (for worldwide support):
  - GET /api/position/search ➡ https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search
  - GET /api/position/reverse ➡ https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse.php
  - GET /api/timezone ➡ http://api.timezonedb.com/v2.1/get-time-zone (You will need to attach an API key. Note: This API is only used as a fallback for when the /api/weather endpoint fails, or when using Open-Meteo.)
  - GET /api/openmeteo/{proxy+} ➡ https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/{proxy} Get worldwide winds aloft and forecast information
- OPTIONAL endpoints (to further enhance basic global support):
  - GET /api/rap ➡ https://rucsoundings.noaa.gov/get_soundings.cgi
  - GET /api/aviationweather ➡ https://www.aviationweather.gov/adds/dataserver_current/httpparam
  - GET /api/weather/{proxy+} ➡ https://api.weather.gov/{proxy} Greedy path capturing, forwards to api.weather.gov.
  - GET /api/pqs ➡ https://epqs.nationalmap.gov/v1/json Get United States altitude information for a given geolocation.
  - GET /api/googleelevation ➡ https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/elevation/json Get global altitude information for a given geolocation (backup API).
  - GET /api/tfr ➡ self-hosted tfr-scraper
  - GET /api/aviationalerts ➡ self-hosted aviation-wx
IMPORTANT! For each outgoing API request, make sure to:
- Attach a User-Agent header, as per NOAA and Nominatim usage policies.
- Keep these free APIs free - be a good API consumer! Add caching for each route - I recommend at least 10 minutes for rucsoundings.noaa.gov, and one week for nominatim.openstreetmap.org.

ppg.report's Issues

Toggle between MSL/AGL

And persist preference locally.

Clicking on header should scroll to beginning of hour list

And if scrollLeft === 0, then take the user back home.

Data issue with ground elevation

Quick question though: how is the site figuring ground level for a given location?

Check out https://ppg.report/45.685,-111.051 Actual ground elevation at those coordinates is 4,805’ MSL, but PPG.report shows 6,348’ elevation. This is confusing as the default being ‘AGL’ is actually showing elevations ~1,500 higher, and therefore exaggerating the down-mixing in the airmass.

Play/pause button

It would be cool to have a button to automatically scroll ("animate") the 24 hour RAP

"Feels like" temp

It might be cool to investigate showing a "feels like" temperature as an option

iOS v15.6 scroll broken

This is a critical issue, hotfix pending

Disable swipe gesture, re enable browser router

https://stackoverflow.com/a/62308482

Safe areas for notch devices

Image bucket, please ignore 🙂

New account identifier 👶

When less than a month old, show "20d" with baby face

Light mode 🔆

Upgrade to react v18

Currently blocked by stipsan/react-spring-bottom-sheet#227

Remove duplicate alert hack

Once the weather api is updated, remove the hack in src/services/weather.ts

weather-gov/api#573

fontawesome-pro dependency blocks install

Error: https://harding.dev:23435/@fortawesome%2ffontawesome-pro/-/fontawesome-pro-5.15.4.tgz: Request failed "401 Unauthorized"

I'd just like to contribute a few low-hanging UX tweeks, but would like to avoid having to pay for a fontawesome pro subscription to do so.

Offline data caching

axios cache middleware is buggy when offline (cache age doesn't work)

need to implement our own offline caching mechanism.

Copy coordinates from metadata

It would be nice to be able to copy the coordinates from the meta-data of the report. When the app is installed to the home screen, there is currently no way to get the coordinates of any given location.

Location name should fallback to favorited location name (if found)

This will provide a better offline experience, instead of displaying coordinates

Switch to floating-ui

@tippyjs/react was last updated 2 years ago. It's also fun to try new things, and pop over UI is changing all the time (see: CSS overflow-anchor)

https://floating-ui.com/docs/react

Switch to https://jaxs.onl/react-sheet-slide/

It is supported

Snapping with error should snap below error

Some NWS alerts don't make sense to be so prominent

For example, Air Quality Alerts could probably just be an exclamation point icon without yellow background.

Creating this issue to track this.

Gracefully handle geocoordinates permission error

Scrolling/swiping should dismiss tooltips

On mobile this would be a nice usability thing

Split out RAP parsing to a separate lib

Location too long on mobile

Gracefully handle soundings API error

"Locate me" should check recent locations first

Washington DC TFR shows up for locations outside of the TFR

First off -- LOVE the TFR integration!!! I also love the weather, the METARs, and the Discussion and Report Metadata sections!!!

So the TFR for Washington DC really is not temporary, it's considered permanent. TFR FDC 1/1155

The problem is that many of the sites I fly are outside of the DC TFR 30nm ring (Called a SFRA, Special Flight Restriction Area), yet PPG.report continues to show the red warning sign.

KEZF, Shannon Airport, in Fredericksburg, VA, is both outside of the 30nm ring, as well as south of its southern-most border, yet ppg.report continues to show that TFR. I realize this is because the site is within 20 miles of my selected location, but truly, 80% of my flights are within 20 miles of the permanent flight restrictions.

I understand Washington DC is an exception here, maybe provide an option to ignore Permanent SFRAs? I still absolutely want to know about truly temporary TFRs, but the DC SFRA is not one of them! I took the FAA course, I have the certificate, I can fly in the 30-60nm SFRA Ring.

Thanks!

small bug

Discussed in #148

hello,
The project is great. Just what I was looking for. I love it!
I have small issue, that may be easy to repair, but is a little frustrating :)
The website does not save my speed setting. I want it to be "m/s" but every time I enter, it resets to km/h. It saves all other units, but not this one. I guess it because of "/" in saved value, but maybe not. Anyway maybe you would like to update this little bug for me.
best. kuba
