Robert:

 

Thank you for the prompt response.  I went back and tried the large
airport codes and those do seem to be working.  However, up until
recently, the identifier for my local airport, Paul C. Miller Airport in
Sparta, MI (8D4) would work when typing the ‘K’ prefix for that code. 
For example, K8D4 would return the point forecast for “3 Miles SE of
Sparta, MI”, which is the location of the airport.  As I fly quite
frequently, I do not recall ever running into an airport for which this
did not work (until now).  In Michigan, I know that airport codes for West
Branch (Y31), Clare Municipal (48D), Greenville (6D6) and so on, all worked
without error.  As I mentioned, whether I was flying locally or several
states away, these codes previously functioned as expected (so long as the
‘K’ prefix was included).

 

I along with many, many other pilots I have spoken to would really like to
see this functionality returned to production.  This is an invaluable tool,
one for which the efforts of individuals such as yourself, are truly
appreciated.

 

I would be happy to assist in testing and/or troubleshooting if that would
be of benefit to you.  Just let me know.

 

Again, thank you for looking into this issue.

 

 

Regards,

 

Scott Kimbro
