What information is depicted on a TAF?

A Terminal Aerodrome Forecast (TAF) provides detailed information about expected weather conditions at a specific airport for a designated period, typically covering a 24-hour duration, and can be extended to 30 hours for some airports. It includes forecasts of significant weather phenomena such as visibility, wind direction and speed, cloud cover, and the likelihood of precipitation or other weather events. This specialized information is essential for pilots to plan safe flights, allowing them to anticipate and prepare for weather changes that may affect their operations during the forecast period.

The other options, while important for various aspects of flight planning and operations, do not pertain to the specific purpose of a TAF. Current air traffic and runway conditions would be covered by other reports such as METARs or NOTAMs. Airspace restrictions and advisories would be found in different regulatory publications or notices relevant to airspace management. Lastly, operational hours for airport facilities are typically detailed in the airport's operational specifications or NOTAMs and do not fall under the weather predictions provided in a TAF.
