// Interpretation

IFR conditions — visibility 2.5 SM. Light winds at 130°/5 kt, visibility 2.5 SM, a few at 1,500 ft, and scattered at 10,000 ft. Reported weather: HZ. 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.
