The new flyable condition layer seems not useful.
At the moment in Switzerland we have very good weather to fly, blue sky, GAFOR say the same (O) but the new layer are just red.

I could be wrong but I don't think the forecast data used for Flyable Conditions is derived from any data received from airliners; which specific met products are you referring to?

It is not applied on the level of specific met products, the correctional data in forecasting is built directly into the mathematical models - the quality of everything forecasting beyond 3 or 6 hours time frame was always established only by including actual data of a big number of forecast stations.
I remember the times when shipping business stopped delivering met data (that was once a mandatory obligation for each and every ship on the oceans, to deliver met data once a day)  'because satellites will do that job now' = one of the bigger failures in science, that did hurt met forecasting models deeply. Current estimate of the scientific crowd is that it may take something like up to 2 years to get the mathematical models back to were they where before Covid-19 only due to the missing air data.
