air navigation plans. Guidance concerning the accuracy of measurement and observation, and accuracy
of forecasts is given in Attachments A and B respectively to Annex 3.
2.2.5
Recommendation In regard to the
exchange of meteorological information for operational purposes, the quality system should include
verification and validation procedures and resources
for monitoring adherence to the prescribed transmission schedules for individual messages and/or
bulletins required to be exchanged, and at the times
of their filing for transmission. The quality system
should be capable of detecting excessive transit
times of messages and bulletins received.
NOTE: Requirements concerning the exchange of
operational meteorological information are given in
Chapter 11 and Appendix 10 (not published herein)
of Annex 3.
2.2.6
Recommendation Demonstration of
compliance of the quality system applied should be
by audit. If non-conformity of the system is identified, action should be initiated to determine and
correct the cause. All audit observations should be
evidenced and properly documented.
2.2.7
The meteorological information supplied
to the users listed in 2.1.2 shall be consistent with
human factors principles and shall be in forms which
require a minimum of interpretation by users, as specified in the following Chapters.
NOTE: Guidance material on the application of
human factors principles can be found in the Human
Factors Training Manual (Doc 9683).
2.3
NOTIFICATIONS REQUIRED
FROM OPERATORS
2.3.1
An operator requiring meteorological service or changes in existing meteorological service
shall notify, sufficiently in advance, the meteorological authority or the aerodrome meteorological office
concerned. The minimum amount of advance notice
required shall be as agreed between the meteorological authority or aerodrome meteorological office and
the operator.
2.3.2
The meteorological authority shall be notified by the operator requiring service when:
a. new routes or new types of operations are
planned;
b. changes of a lasting character are to be made
in scheduled operations; and
c. other changes, affecting the provision of meteorological service, are planned.
Such information shall contain all details necessary
for the planning of appropriate arrangements by the
meteorological authority.
2.3.3
The operator or a flight crew member shall
ensure that, where required by the meteorological
authority in consultation with users, the aerodrome
meteorological office concerned, is notified:
a. of flight schedules;
b. when non-scheduled flights are to be operated;
c. when flights are delayed, advanced or cancelled.

2.3.4
Recommendation The notification
to the aerodrome meteorological office of individual
flights should contain the following information except
that, in the case of scheduled flights, the requirement
for some or all of this information may be waived by
agreement between the aerodrome meteorological
office and the operator:
a. aerodrome of departure and estimated time of
departure;
b. destination and estimated time of arrival;
c. route to be flown and estimated times of arrival
at, and departure from, any intermediate aerodrome(s);
d. alternate aerodromes needed to complete the
operational flight plan and taken from the relevant list contained in the regional air navigation
plan;
e. cruising level;
f. type of flight, whether under visual or instrument
flight rules;
g. type of meteorological information requested for
a flight crew member, whether flight documentation and/or briefing or consultation; and
h. time(s) at which briefing, consultation and/or
flight documentation are required.

NOTE: Technical specifications and detailed criteria
related to this Chapter are given in Appendix 2.
3.1
OBJECTIVE OF THE WORLD AREA

FORECAST SYSTEM
The objective of the world area forecast system

shall be to supply meteorological authorities and
other users with global aeronautical meteorological
en-route forecasts in digital form. This objective shall
be achieved through a comprehensive, integrated,
worldwide and, as far as practicable, uniform system,
and in a cost-effective manner, taking full advantage
of evolving technologies.
3.2
WORLD AREA FORECAST

CENTERS
3.2.1
A Contracting State, having accepted the
responsibility for providing a WAFC within the framework of the world area forecast system, shall arrange
for that center:
a. to prepare gridded global forecasts of:
1. upper wind;
2. upper-air temperature and humidity;
3. geopotential altitude of flight levels;
4. flight level and temperature of tropopause;
5. direction, speed and flight level of maximum wind;
6. cumulonimbus clouds;
7. icing; and
8. turbulence;
