  • There are scores (hundreds?) of other sites out there that provide aviation weather free-of-charge. Many of these sites are run by people who are experts in these areas - it only makes sense for us to focus on what we're good at it and let them do the same.
  • It was grossly underutilized. Less than 5% of Oshkosh365 visitors used it, which translates to less than 3% of all EAA members.

I hope this helps give you some clarity into the decision not to replicate this feature on the new site.

Thanks -

Hal,

I am one of the members who never used the weather feature. I did not know it was there... Probably to be fair, I would not use it even if I knew.
Has EAA considered partnering with one or more of those sites?
