I'm on Skyvector right now and see various PIREPs populate. When I go on iFly for the same location in the wx info for the PIREPs there is nothing. I try updating the wx info, but there is still nothing. I tried a maybe doing a flight plan to get the briefing in iFly in the areas where PIREPs should be populated, but the PIREPs are empty in iFly. Am I doing something wrong?
I could be wrong, but I think iFly only picks up PIREPs from the ADSB feed, not from the internet. (Though if that's true, then as you point out, there's no technical reason why that capability couldn't be added.)
I think John is seeing METARS on Skyvector, I don't think they have PIREPS.
ADS-B is planning PIREPS, but I don't think it's implemented yet.
I am seeing PIREPs on Skyvector. Attaching a screenshot.
Good find, we don't have Pireps yet. It is on our list!
