aircraft /aircraft with limited capability. Compared to
SIGMETs, AIRMETs cover less severe weather: moderate
turbulence and icing, surface winds of 30 knots, or widespread restricted visibility.

Airman's Meteorological Information (AIRMET)
In-flight weather advisories issued only to amend the area forecast concerning weather phenomena which are of operational interest to all aircraft and potentially hazardous to aircraft having limited capability because of lack of equipment, instrumentation, or pilot qualifications. Airman's Meteorological Information's (AIRMET) concern weather of less severity than that covered by Significant Meteorological Convective Information's (SIGMET) or Convective SIGMET's. AIRMET's cover moderate icing, moderate turbulence, sustained winds of 30 knots or more at the surface, widespread areas of ceilings less than 1,000 feet and/or visibility less than 3 miles, and extensive mountain obscurement.
