+The validator can detect **30+ types** of format errors including:
+- Missing/invalid report type, ICAO code, time group
+- Wind group errors (format, spacing, units)
+- QNH format errors
+- Invalid characters and line breaks
+- Spelling errors (EMPO, ECMG, NOSI, OSIG, etc.)
+- RMK section anomalies
+- And many more...
