Even if you have a datalink weather capability in the cockpit, dont give up on your air traffic controllers. A Weather Systems Processor (WSP) has been added to many of the ASR-9s to measure Doppler wind velocity and thereby support detection of low-level wind shear events. Not too shabby.

FAA Federal Aviation Administration The FAA is the US federal government agency in charge of aviation standards, air traffic control, airspace safety, and the certification of personnel and aircraft. Then that is BVLOS, even if the drone is just 100 feet away. The list of accepted MOCs is available at the FAA website.

These maneuvers include an engine failure on takeoff, loss of lift on the wing during departure, en route, and approach, crosswind landings, wind shear scenarios, engine inoperative landings, low visibility landings, crash landings and evacuation. I believe that airline pilots are the most scrutinized profession in the world.

Review current weather conditions, including wind speed, direction, and visibility, as these can significantly impact the approach. Wind shear, turbulence, or gusty winds can create challenges during the landing phase, so knowing how to adjust for these factors is critical.

Airborne Wind Shear Detection During the 1980s and 1990s, NASA led a comprehensive research program to identify the characteristics of dangerous wind shear and validated technologies that can predict its severity while in flight.

Even though I was likely to be cleared through the outer ring by ATC (air traffic control) while on an instrument flight plan, I filed a route from Sodus to the Williamsport VOR (FQM) that circumvented the TFR entirely. I rode chaotic air currents all the way to the ground and the landing was not one of my best.
