- Contexto
- Typical code words like CAVOK (ceiling and visibility OK), SKC (sky clear), NCD (no clouds detected) and NSC (nil significant clouds) are used in reports when the state of the atmospheric or weather will not affect the operations of take-off and landing; replacing the quantitative information with simple acronyms is beneficial.
- NSC (“No Significant Cloud”) is not used as there is no upper limit to the forecast cloud layers.
