XPLM_API void       XPLMGetMETARForAirport(
                         const char *         airport_id,
                         XPLMFixedString150_t * outMETAR);

Get the last-downloaded METAR report for an airport by ICAO code. Note that the actual weather at that airport may have evolved significantly since the last downloaded METAR. outMETAR must point to a char buffer of at least 150 characters. THIS CALL DOES NOT RETURN THE CURRENT WEATHER AT THE AIRPORT, and returns an empty string if the system is not in real-weather mode.

This call is not intended to be used per-frame. It should be called only during the pre-flight loop callback.
