// Interpretation

IFR conditions — ceiling 700 ft. Moderate winds at 080°/8 kt, visibility better than 10 statute miles, broken at 700 ft, and overcast at 1,600 ft. Would deteriorate to LIFR below 500 ft ceiling or 1 SM, or improve to MVFR above 1,000 ft and 3 SM.

Approximate using ~10% perf loss / 1,000 ft DA for normally aspirated, scaled by powerplant type. Verify with your aircraft's POH for accurate numbers — especially above 5,000 ft DA where these rules of thumb diverge.
