Add your RC airfield

We'd be happy to add your radio-controlled model airfield to the dashboard. Email drnic@mocra.com with the details below and we'll get it live for you.

What we need for our database

• Field name and, if it has one, its ICAO code.
• Any other names the field goes by — a former name, or the name it's listed under on maps.
• Town / region and country.
• Your club or airfield homepage URL, if you have one.
• Location — latitude & longitude, or a Google Maps link to a dropped pin on the strip.
• Runways — for each one, its designator and the magnetic heading of the low-numbered end (the runway number × 10).
• Magnetic variation at the field (East positive), if you know it.
• Your preferred forecast snapshot time (defaults to 07:00 local).
• Your Weather Underground station ID, if your club has a weather station on the field — see below.

Got a weather station on the field?

If your club runs a Weather Underground personal weather station (PWS), send us its station ID and we'll read the current wind straight off your own anemometer instead of the nearest official station, which can easily be 30 km away across a ridge. For wind, that difference is the whole ballgame.

Your station ID is the code in its dashboard URL — wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/IIRONB10 → IIRONB10. You can also find it by searching the Wundermap for your field. The station needs to be publicly visible on Weather Underground (most are by default).

The 4-day forecast still comes from WillyWeather — a PWS reports what's happening now, not what's coming. If your station goes quiet, we notice and quietly fall back to the nearest official station rather than showing you a stale reading.

Running a different system — WeatherFlow / Tempest, Ambient Weather, Davis, or anything else? Tell us anyway. Many of them can also publish to Weather Underground, and we're happy to add new sources.

Weather coverage

Forecasts today are powered by WillyWeather, so forecast coverage is strongest in Australia. We don't support other forecast providers yet — but if your field is elsewhere, get in touch anyway. We can add new sources quickly and would love to grow beyond Australia. (A Weather Underground station works anywhere in the world, so we can already show your live wind wherever you fly.)
