Hi All,
Could someone please share his/her input?
TAF Decoding - Bob Tait CMET Page 168. Question No 7. The answer is option C.
I am wondering whether this question has a typo error or if I am missing something - plz correct me.
Here TAF validity is till the 26th of Month 06 AM. Arrival at 051420 means 05th of the month 2:20 PM. Isn’t this outside of TAF validity or I am reading incorrectly ????
Even If consider is arrival at 251430-
then answer C - No Cloud below 5000 ft above MSL. won't be correct as CAVOK only starts from 251500, but before 251500 FEW030

The time group just after YBBN is the time the message was logged for transmission. That has no significance to the pilot. The validity period is from 2500 to 2606 (a period of 30 hours). The answer should have been (a)
