  1. Meteorological service for aviation Dimitar Ivanov Chief, AEM Division WMO

  2. MET service for aviation • Characteristics: • Aviation is genuinely international and global • Clear definition of user (airlines, flight crew, air traffic services, search and rescue services, airport management, others concerned) • Proper definition of user requirements (different for different users) • Clear objectives of service - safety, regularity, efficiency; recent addition - environment • Regular user feed-back

  3. Institutional arrangements for service delivery • Service delivery: well developed international regulatory framework (ICAO Annex 3/WMO Tec. Reg. Vol. II), national legislation and regulation • Roles, responsibilities and accountability of all stakeholders well defined • MET Authorities (MA) of Members responsible for organization and provision of service • MET Service Providers – different type of organization and business models

  4. Service requirements • Requirement on MET Authorities to implement a properly organized quality system in conformity with ISO 9000 series • QMS a global requirement (ICAO-WMO Regulations) • QMS: success story • Competency requirements for aeronautical met personnel - standard practice as of 1 Dec 2013.

  5. Products and Services • Observations – aerodrome, airborne, others • Forecasts – aerodrome, terminal area, en-route • Warnings – aerodrome warnings, AIRMET, SIGMET (VA, TC and other hazards) • Advisory services – VA, TC • Flight documentation • Services for ATS, AIS and other users • All defined in ICAO Annex 3 and WMO TRs, Vol II

  6. Efficiency and cost recovery • User concern with efficiency and cost-effectiveness • Efficiency through global and regional facilities: 2 WAFCs (wind, temp, SIGWX), 9 Volcanic Ash Advisory Centres, 7 TC Advisory Centres • User willing to pay for services • Many Met Services recover the costs for aviation services provided • Good practice for service delivery

  7. Things to consider for LTSD • National vs International • Needs for harmonization and interoperability • Users and their requirements – need to learn their decision-making trees • Study existing services • WMO position and instrumentarium • Business case and who’s paying • Science and technology • Possible methodology – define “use cases”
