Case contract

layers are [cover, height_ft]; the ceiling is the lowest BKN, OVC or VV layer (None if none). Ceiling class: None or >3000 VFR, 1000-3000 MVFR, 500-999 IFR, <500 LIFR. Visibility class: >5 VFR, 3-5 MVFR, 1 to <3 IFR, <1 LIFR. Report [ceiling, worse of the two classes].

Why this case matters

Pilots and dispatch use flight categories for go/no-go and alternate planning.
