Flight category is not your personal go/no-go

"KPDK is IFR" is the regulatory picture. Whether you should fly depends on your ratings, your aircraft, and your personal minimums: the crosswind, gust, ceiling, and visibility limits that mean stop for you. GoNoGo Weather scores KPDK's live conditions against your own numbers and gives you one straight answer: GO, CAUTION, or NO-GO.

What the flight categories mean

VFR ceiling > 3,000 ft and visibility > 5 sm. MVFR ceiling 1,000–3,000 ft or visibility 3–5 sm. IFR ceiling 500–1,000 ft or visibility 1–3 sm. LIFR below that. These are decoded live from the KPDK METAR (official NWS/FAA data via aviationweather.gov) and refresh through the day.

See also the full aviation weather briefing tool for TAF timelines, PIREPs, TFRs/NOTAMs, density altitude, and crosswind against the active runway.

Reference only, not an official weather briefing and not a guarantee of safety. Always obtain an official briefing and exercise pilot-in-command authority (14 CFR 91.103). Conditions change fast and data can be delayed.
