What type of information is included in ADS-B weather data?

The correct answer focuses on the specific types of weather information that an Automated Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADS-B) system provides. ADS-B weather data is designed to enhance situational awareness for pilots by broadcasting real-time weather information.

Winds aloft are crucial for flight planning and in-flight navigation as they affect an aircraft's performance and fuel consumption. PIREPs (Pilot Reports) provide actual weather conditions experienced by pilots in the air, which is invaluable for assessing immediate weather situations. AIRMETs and SIGMETs are advisory messages that alert pilots to significant weather events like turbulence, icing, or severe thunderstorms, which are essential for safety and operational decisions.

Other options mention types of information that may not be broadcast as part of the ADS-B weather data. For instance, while PIREPs, METARs, and TAFs are important weather reports, METARs (Meteorological Aerodrome Reports) and TAFs (Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts) are not included in ADS-B weather data; they represent traditional reporting methods that pilots typically access through other channels. Local forecasts and cloud cover are also not included in ADS-B data. Lastly, air pressure changes and temperature can be derived from other sources but do not
