In version 4.501 a bug was found when the FAA doesn't provide a flight category in the returned data. The script will stop running when this happens. It can be fixed by editing the script named 'metar-v4.py'. It is located in the '/NeoSectional' directory. To get there use the command line and enter;

cd /NeoSectional
sudo nano -c metar-v4.py

Then change line 1215 to;

 if metar.find('flight_category').text is None or metar.find('flight_category').text == 'NONE':

Use the line that is there and add the '.text' to the 2 locations

Then enter;

ctrl-x
y

to save.

This will be incorporated into the next image. - Mark
