Runway Almanac has no user accounts. Airport searches and Runway Finder filters run in your browser against static indexes; search and filter text is not intentionally sent to a Runway Almanac application server.
Live report requests
When a compatible airport profile opens, the browser requests that page's four-character ICAO station from a same-origin Runway Almanac endpoint. The hosting worker retrieves and briefly caches METAR and TAF data from AviationWeather.gov and public network data from VATSIM. The request does not include a user account or a free-text search.
Hosting data
Our hosting and delivery providers may process standard request information such as IP address, browser type, requested URL, and timestamps for security, reliability, and aggregate traffic measurement. Their handling is governed by their own policies.
