7.3.2 Recommendation – Aerodrome warn-ings should be cancelled when the conditions are nolonger occurring and/or no longer expected to occurat the aerodrome.

7.4 WIND SHEAR WARNINGS AND

ALERTS

NOTE: Guidance on the subject is contained in theManual on Low-level Wind Shear (Doc 9817). Windshear alerts are expected to complement wind shearwarnings and together are intended to enhance situ-ational awareness of wind shear.

7.4.1 Wind shear warnings shall be preparedby the meteorological office designated by the mete-orological authority concerned for aerodromes wherewind shear is considered a factor, in accordance withlocal arrangements with the appropriate ATS unitand operators concerned. Wind shear warnings shallgive concise information on the observed or expectedexistence of wind shear which could adversely affectaircraft on the approach path or take-off path orduring circling approach between runway level and500m (1600ft) above that level and aircraft on therunway during the landing roll or take-off run. Wherelocal topography has been shown to produce sig-

nificant wind shears at heights in excess of 500m(1600ft) above runway level, then 500m (1600ft) shallnot be considered restrictive.

7.4.2 Recommendation – Wind shear warn-ings for arriving aircraft and/or departing aircraftshould be cancelled when aircraft reports indicatethat wind shear no longer exists or, alternatively, afteran agreed elapsed time. The criteria for the cancel-lation of a wind shear warning should be definedlocally for each aerodrome, as agreed between themeteorological authority, the appropriate ATS author-ity and the operators concerned.

7.4.3 At aerodromes where wind shear isdetected by automated, ground-based, wind shearremote-sensing or detection equipment, wind shearalerts generated by these systems shall be issued.Wind shear alerts shall give concise, up-to-dateinformation related to the observed existence ofwind shear involving a headwind/tailwind change of30km/h (15kt) or more which could adversely affectaircraft on the final approach path or initial take-offpath and aircraft on the runway during the landingroll or take-off run.

7.4.4 Recommendation – Wind shear alertsshould be updated at least every minute. The windshear alert should be cancelled as soon as theheadwind/tailwind change falls below 30km/h (15kt).

3.3 HEIGHTS

Heights are indicated on SWH and SWM charts inflight levels (FL), top over base.

When XXX is used, tops or bases are outside thelayer of the atmosphere to which the chart applies.

In SWL charts:

a. Heights are indicated as altitudes above mean sea level;

b. The abbreviation SFC is used to indicate ground level.

4 DEPICTING OF LINES ANDSYSTEMS ON SPECIFIC CHARTS

4.1 SWH AND SWM — SIGNIFICANTWEATHER CHARTS (HIGHAND MEDIUM)

Scalloped line = demarcation of areas of significant weather

Heavy broken line = delineation of area of CAT

Heavy solid lineinterrupted by windarrow and flight level

= position of jet stream axis with indication of wind direction, speed in kt or km/h andheight in flight levels. The vertical extent of the jet stream is indicated (in flightlevels), e.g. FL270 accompanied by 240/290 indicates that the jet extends fromFL240 to FL290.

Figures on arrows = speed in kt or km/h of movement of frontal system

Flight levels insidesmall rectangles

=height in flight levels of tropopause at spot locations; e.g., 1145640356000. Low and Highpoints of the tropopause topography are indicated by the letters L or H respectivelyinside a pentagon with the height in flight levels.

Display explicit FL for JET dephts and tropopause height even if outside forecastbounds.

4.2 SWL — SIGNIFICANT WEATHERCHART (LOW LEVEL)

X = position of pressure centres given in hectopascals;

L = centre of low pressure;

H = centre of high pressure;

Scalloped lines = demarcation of area of significant weather

Dashed lines = altitude of 0°C isotherm in feet (hectofeet) or metres

NOTE: 0°C level may also be indicated by ; 1145640356000i.e., 0°C level is at analtitude of 6,000 ft.

Figures on arrows = speed in kt or km/h of movement of frontal systems, depressions or anticyclones

Figure inside the stateof the sea symbol

= total wave height in feet or metres

Figure inside the seasurface temperaturesymbol

= sea surface temperature in °C

Figures inside thestrong surface windsymbol

= wind in kt or km/h

4.3 ARROWS, FEATHERS ANDPENNANTS

Arrows indicate direction. Number of pennants and/orfeathers correspond to speed.

EXAMPLE:

270° / 115 kt (equivalent to 230 km/h)

Pennants correspond to 50 kt or 100 km/h;

Feather correspond to 10 kt or 20 km/h;1145640356000

Half-feather correspond to 5 kt or 10km/h.

A conversion factor of 1 to 2 is used.q$z

2.6.2 Interpretation of the turbulence report

Turbulence shall be considered:

a. severe when the peak value of the cube root ofEDR exceeds 0.7;

b. moderate when the peak value of the cube rootof EDR is above 0.4 and below or equal to 0.7;

c. light when the peak value of the cube root ofEDR is above 0.1 and below or equal 0.4;

d. nil when the peak value of the cube root of EDRis below or equal to 0.1.

NOTE: The EDR is an aircraft-independent measureof turbulence. However, the relationship betweenthe EDR value and the perception of turbulence isa function of aircraft type, and the mass, altitude,configuration and airspeed of the aircraft. The EDRvalues given above describe the severity levelsfor a medium-sized transport aircraft under typi-cal en-route conditions (i.e. altitude, airspeed andweight).

2.6.3 Special air-reports

Special air-reports on turbulence shall be made dur-ing any phase of the flight whenever the peak valueof the cube root of EDR exceeds 0.7. The specialair-report on turbulence shall be made with referenceto the 1 minute period immediately preceding theobservation. Both the average and peak value ofturbulence shall be observed. The average and peakvalues shall be reported in terms of the cube rootof EDR. Special air-reports shall be issued everyminute until such time as the peak values of the cuberoot of EDR fall below 0.7.

1. CRITERIA RELATED TO TAF

1.1 TAF FORMAT

1.1.1 TAF shall be issued in accordance with thetemplate shown in Table A5-1 and disseminated inthe TAF code form prescribed by the World Meteoro-logical Organization.

NOTE: The TAF code form is contained in WMO Pub-lication No. 306, Manual on Codes, Volume I.1, PartA - Alphanumeric Codes.

1.1.2 Recommendation - TAF should be dis-seminated, under bilateral agreements betweenStates in a position to do so, in the WMO BUFR codeform, in addition to the dissemination of the TAF inaccordance with 1.1.1.

NOTE: The BUFR code form is contained in WMOPublication No. 306, Manual on Codes, Volume I.2,Part B - Binary Codes.

1.2 INCLUSION OF METEOROLOGICALELEMENTS IN TAF

NOTE: Guidance on operationally desirable accuracyof forecasts is given in Attachment B.

1.2.1 Surface wind

Recommendation. - In forecasting surface wind, theexpected prevailing direction should be given. Whenit is not possible to forecast a prevailing surface winddirection due to its expected variability, for example,during light wind conditions (less than 6 km/h (3 kt)or thunderstorms, the forecast wind direction shouldbe indicated as variable using “VRB”. When the windis forecast to be less than 2 km/h (1 kt) the forecastwind speed should be indicated as calm. When theforecast maximum speed (gust) exceeds the forecastmean wind speed by 20 km/h (10kt) or more, theforecast maximum wind speed should be indicated.When a wind speed of 200 km/h (100kt) or more isforecast, it should be indicated to be more than 199km/h (99kt).

1.2.2 Visibility

Recommendation. - When the visibility is forecast tobe less than 800 m it should be expressed in steps of50 m; when it is forecast to be 800 m or more but lessthan 5 km, in steps of 100 m; 5 km or more but lessthan 10 km in kilometre steps and when it is forecastto be 10 km, or more it should be expressed as 10km, except when conditions of CAVOK are forecastto apply. The prevailing visibility should be forecast.When visibility is forecast to vary in different directionsand the prevailing visibility cannot be forecast, thelowest forecast visibility should be given.

1.2.3 Weather phenomena

Recommendation. - One or more, up to a maximumof three, of the following weather phenomena or com-binations thereof together with their characteristicsand, where appropriate, intensity should be forecastif they are expected to occur at the aerodrome:

– freezing precipitation

– freezing fog

– moderate or heavy precipitation (including show-ers thereof)

– low drifting dust, sand or snow

– blowing dust, sand or snow

– duststorm

– sandstorm

– thunderstorm (with or without precipitation)

– squall

– funnel cloud (tornado or waterspout)

The expected end of occurrence of those phenomenashould be indicated by the abbreviation “NSW”.

1.2.4 Cloud

Recommendation. - Cloud amount should be fore-cast using the abbreviations “FEW”, “SCT“, “BKN” or“OVC” as necessary. When it is expected that the skywill remain or become obscured and clouds cannot beforecast and information on vertical visibility is avail-able at the aerodrome, the vertical visibility shouldbe forecast in the form “VV” followed by the forecastvalue of the vertical visibility. When several layers ormasses of cloud are forecast, their amount and heightof base should be included in the following order:

a) the lowest layer or mass regardless of amount,to be forecast as FEW, SCT, BKN or OVC asappropriate;

b) the next layer or mass covering more than 2/8,to be forecast as SCT, BKN or OVC as appro-priate;

c) the next higher layer or mass covering morethan 4/8, to be forecast as BKN or OVC asappropriate; and

d) cumulonimbus clouds, whenever forecast andnot already included under a) to c).

Cloud information should be limited to cloud of opera-tional significance, when no cloud of operational sig-nificance is forecast, and "CAVOK" is not appropriate,the abbreviation "NSC" should be used.

1.2.5 Temperature

Recommendation. - When forecast temperaturesare included in accordance with regional air nav-igation agreement, the maximum and minimumtemperatures expected to occur during the periodof validity of the TAF should be given, together withtheir corresponding times of occurrence.

1.3 USE OF CHANGE GROUPS

1.3.1 Recommendation. - The criteria usedfor the inclusion of change groups in TAF or for theamendment of TAF should be based on the following:

a. when the mean surface wind direction is fore-cast to change by 60° or more, the mean speedbefore and/or after the change being 20 km/h(10 kt) or more;

b. when the mean surface wind speed is forecastto change by 20 km/h (10 kt) or more;

d. when the surface wind is forecast to changethrough values of operational significance. Thethreshold values should be established by themeteorological authority in consultation with theappropriate ATS authority and operators con-cerned, taking into account changes in the windwhich would:

1. require a change in runway(s) in use; and

2. indicate that the runway tailwind and cross-wind components will change through val-ues representing the main operating lim-its for typical aircraft operating at the aero-drome;

e. when the visibility is forecast to improve andchange to or pass through one or more of thefollowing values, or when the visibility is forecastto deteriorate and pass through one or more ofthe following values:

1. 150, 350, 600, 800, 1500 or 3000 m; or

2. 5000 m in cases where significant numbersof flights are operated in accordance withthe visual flight rules;

f. when any of the following weather phenomenaor combinations thereof are forecast to begin orend or change in intensity:

i. when the amount of a layer or mass of cloudbelow 450 m (1500 ft) is forecast to change:

1. from NSC, FEW or SCT to BKN or OVC; or

2. from BKN or OVC to NSC, FEW or SCT;

j. when the vertical visibility is forecast to improveand change to or pass through one or more ofthe following values, or when the vertical visibil-ity is forecast to deteriorate and pass throughone or more of the following values: 30, 60, 150or 300 m (100, 200, 500 or 1000 ft); and

k. any other criteria based on local aerodromeoperating minima, as agreed between the mete-orological authority and the operators.

1.3.2 Recommendation. - When a changein any of the elements given in Chapter 6, 6.2.3 isrequired to be indicated in accordance with the crite-ria given in 1.3.1, the change indicators “BECMG” or“TEMPO” should be used followed by the time periodduring which the change is expected to occur.

The time period should be indicated as the beginningand end of the period in whole hours UTC. Only thoseelements for which a significant change is expectedshould be included following a change indicator. How-ever, in the case of significant changes in respect ofcloud, all cloud groups, including layers or masses notexpected to change, should be indicated.

1.3.3 Recommendation. - The change indica-tor “BECMG” and the associated time group shouldbe used to describe changes where the meteorologi-cal conditions are expected to reach or pass throughspecified threshold values at a regular or irregularrate and at an unspecified time during the time period.The time period should normally not exceed 2 hoursbut in any case should not exceed 4 hours.

1.3.4 Recommendation. - The change indica-tor “TEMPO” and the associated time group shouldbe used to describe expected frequent or infrequenttemporary fluctuations in the meteorological condi-tions which reach or pass specified threshold val-ues and last for a period of less than one hour ineach instance and, in the aggregate, cover less thanone-half of the forecast period during which the fluctu-ations are expected to occur. If the temporary fluctua-tion is expected to last one hour or longer, the changegroup “BECMG” should be used in accordance with1.3.3 or the validity period should be subdivided inaccordance with 1.3.5.

1.3.5 Recommendation. - Where one set ofprevailing weather conditions is expected to changesignificantly and more or less completely to a differ-ent set of conditions, the period of validity shouldbe subdivided into self-contained periods usingthe abbreviation “FM” followed immediately by afour-figure time group in whole hours and minutesUTC indicating the time the change is expected tooccur. The subdivided period following the abbrevi-ation “FM” should be self-contained and all forecastconditions given before the abbreviation should besuperseded by those following the abbreviation.

1.4 USE OF PROBABILITY GROUPS

Recommendation. - The probability of occurrenceof an alternative value of a forecast element or ele-ments should be indicated, as necessary, by use ofthe abbreviation “PROB” followed by the probabilityin tens of per cent and the time period during whichthe alternative value(s) is (are) expected to apply.The probability information should be placed afterthe element or elements forecast and be followedby the alternative value of the element or elements.The probability of a forecast of temporary fluctuationsin meteorological conditions should be indicated, asnecessary, by use of the abbreviation “PROB” fol-lowed by the probability in tens of per cent, placedbefore the change indicator “TEMPO” and associatedtime group. A probability of an alternative value orchange of less than 30 per cent should not be consid-ered sufficiently significant to be indicated. A proba-bility of an alternative value or change of 50 per centor more, for aviation purposes, should not be consid-ered a probability but instead should be indicated, asnecessary, by use of the change indicators “BECMG”or “TEMPO” or by subdivision of the validity periodusing the abbreviation “FM”. The probability groupshould not be used to qualify the change indicator“BECMG” nor the time indicator “FM”.

1.5 NUMBERS OF CHANGE ANDPROBABILITY GROUPS

Recommendation. - The number of change andprobability groups should be kept to a minimum andshould not normally exceed five groups.

1.6 DISSEMINATION OF TAF

c) isolated (ISOL) if it consists of individual fea-tures which affect, or are forecast to affect, anarea with a maximum spatial coverage lessthan 50 per cent of the area concerned (at afixed time or during the period of validity); and

d) occasional (OCNL) if it consists of well-sepa-rated features which affect, or are forecast toaffect, an area with a maximum spatial cover-age between 50 and 75 per cent of the areaconcerned (at a fixed time or during the periodof validity).

4.2.2 Recommendation. - An area of thunder-storms should be considered frequent (FRQ) if withinthat area there is little or no separation between adja-cent thunderstorms with a maximum spatial coveragegreater than 75 per cent of the area affected, or fore-cast to be affected, by the phenomenon (at a fixedtime or during the period of validity).

4.2.3 Recommendation. - Squall line (SQL)should indicate a thunderstorm along a line with littleor no space between individual clouds.

4.2.4 Recommendation. - Hail (GR) should beused as a further description of the thunderstorm, asnecessary.

4.2.5 Recommendation. - Severe and moder-ate turbulence (TURB) should refer only to: low-levelturbulence associated with strong surface winds;rotor streaming; or turbulence whether in cloud ornot in cloud (CAT). Turbulence should not be used inconnection with convective clouds.

4.2.6 Turbulence shall be considered:

a) severe whenever the peak value of the cuberoot of EDR exceeds 0.7; and

b) moderate whenever the peak value of the cuberoot of EDR is above 0.4 and below or equal to0.7.

4.2.7 Recommendation. - Severe and moder-ate icing (ICE) should refer to icing in other than con-vective clouds. Freezing rain (FZRA) should refer tosevere icing conditions caused by freezing rain.

4.2.8 Recommendation. - A mountain wave(MTW) should be considered:

a) severe whenever an accompanying downdraftof 3.0 m/s (600 ft/min) or more and/or severeturbulence is observed or forecast; and

b) moderate whenever an accompanying down-draft of 1.75-3.0 m/s (350-600 ft/min) and/ormoderate turbulence is observed or forecast.

5. SPECIFICATIONS RELATED TOAERODROME WARNINGS

5.1 FORMAT AND DISSEMINATION OF

AERODROME WARNINGS

5.1.1 The aerodrome warnings shall be issuedin accordance with the template in Table A6-2 whererequired by operators or aerodrome services, andshall be disseminated in accordance with localarrangements to those concerned.

5.1.2 The sequence number referred to in thetemplate in Table A6-2 shall correspond with the num-ber of aerodrome warnings issued for the aerodromesince 0001 UTC on the day concerned.

5.1.3 Recommendation. - In accordance withthe template in Table A6-2, aerodrome warningsshould relate to the occurrence or expected occur-rence of one or more of the following phenomena:

– tropical cyclone (to be included if the 10-minutemean surface wind speed at the aerodrome isexpected to be 63 km/h (34 kt) or more)

– thunderstorm

– hail

– snow (including the expected or observed snowaccumulation)


– hoar frost or rime

– sandstorm

– duststorm

– rising sand or dust

– strong surface wind and gusts

– squall

– frost

– volcanic ash

– tsunami

– other phenomena as agreed locally.

5.1.4 Recommendation. - The use of textadditional to the abbreviations listed in the templatein Table A6-2 should be kept to a minimum. The addi-tional text should be prepared in abbreviated plainlanguage using approved ICAO abbreviations andnumerical values. If no ICAO approved abbreviationsare available, English plain language text should beused.

5.2 QUANTITATIVE CRITERIA FOR

AERODROME WARNINGS

Recommendation. - When quantitative criteria arenecessary for the issue of aerodrome warnings cover-ing, for example, the expected maximum wind speedor the expected total snowfall, the criteria should beestablished by agreement between the meteorologi-cal office and the users of the warnings.

6. SPECIFICATIONS RELATED TOWIND SHEAR WARNINGS

6.1 DETECTION OF WIND SHEAR

Recommendation - Evidence of the existence of windshear should be derived from:

a) ground-based wind shear remote-sensingequipment, for example, Doppler radar;

b) ground-based wind shear detection equipment,for example, a system of surface wind and/orpressure sensors located in an array monitor-ing a specific runway or runways and associ-ated approach and departure paths;

c) aircraft observations during the climb-out orapproach phases of flight to be made in accor-dance with Chapter 5; or

d) other meteorological information, for example,from appropriate sensors located on existingmasts or towers in the vicinity of the aerodromeor nearby areas of high ground.

NOTE: Wind shear conditions are normally associ-ated with the following phenomena:

– thunderstorms, microbursts, funnel cloud (tornadoor waterspout), and gust fronts

– frontal surfaces

– strong surface winds coupled with local topogra-phy

– sea breeze fronts

– mountain waves (including low-level rotors in theterminal area)

– low-level temperature inversions.

6.2 FORMAT AND DISSEMINATION

OF WIND SHEAR WARNINGS

AND ALERTS

NOTE: Information on wind shear is also to beincluded as supplementary information in local rou-tine and special reports and METAR and SPECI inaccordance with the templates in Tables A3-1 andA3-2.

6.2.1 The wind shear warnings shall be issuedin accordance with the template in Table A6-3 andshall be disseminated in accordance with localarrangements to those concerned.

6.2.2 The sequence number referred to in thetemplate in Table A6-3 shall correspond with the num-ber of wind shear warnings issued for the aerodromesince 0001 UTC on the day concerned.

6.2.3 Recommendation. - The use of textadditional to the abbreviations listed in the templatein Table A6-3 should be kept to a minimum. The addi-tional text should be prepared in abbreviated plainlanguage using approved ICAO abbreviations andnumerical values. If no ICAO approved abbreviationsare available, English plain language text should beused.

6.2.4 Recommendation. - When an aircraftreport is used to prepare a wind shear warning, or toconfirm a warning previously issued, the correspond-ing aircraft report, including the aircraft type, shouldbe disseminated unchanged in accordance with localarrangements to those concerned.

NOTE 1: Following reported encounters by both arriv-ing and departing aircraft two different wind shearwarnings may exist, one for arriving aircraft and onefor departing aircraft.

NOTE 2: Specifications for reporting the intensityof wind shear are still undergoing development. Itis recognized, however, that pilots, when reportingwind shear, may use the qualifying terms "moderate","strong" or "severe", based to a large extent on theirsubjective assessment of the intensity of the windshear encountered.

6.2.5 The wind shear alerts shall be dissem-inated from automated, ground-based, wind shearremote-sensing or detection equipment in accor-dance with local arrangements to those concerned.

6.2.6 Recommendation. - Where microburstsare observed, reported by pilots or detected byground-based, wind shear detection or remote-sens-ing equipment, the wind shear warning and windshear alert should include a specific reference tomicroburst.

6.2.7 Where information from ground-basedwind shear detection or remote-sensing equipmentis used to prepare a wind shear warning, the warningshould, if practicable, relate to specific sections ofthe runway and distances along the approach pathor take-off path as agreed between the meteorolog-ical authority, the appropriate ATS authority and theoperators concerned.

DECODE OF EIGHT FIGURE GROUP APPENDED TO MOTNE/OPMET BROADCASTS

DECODE OF EIGHT FIGURE GROUPAPPENDED TO MOTNE/OPMETBROADCASTSThe first two digits indicate the Runway Designator.

The third digit indicates the Runway Deposits.

The fourth digit indicates the extent of runway con-tamination.

The fifth and sixth digits indicate the depth of deposit.

The seventh and eighth digits indicate the frictionco-efficient or Braking Action.

RUNWAY DESIGNATOR (FIRST ANDSECOND DIGITS)

The two digits correspond to the runway designator(e.g. 09, 27 etc.). In the case of parallel runways, the‘Left” runway is indicated by the designator only (e.g.09L as 09) while the “Right” runway has 50 added sothat 09R becomes 59 and 27R becomes 77. When-ever all runways are affected the figure group 88 willbe used.

NOTE: 99 may sometimes appear as the first two dig-its. This does not purport to be a runway indicatorbut means that the information is a repetition of thelast message because no new message has beenreceived in time for transmission.

RUNWAY DEPOSITS (THIRD DIGIT)

The runway deposit expressed as a single figure asfollows:

0 — Clear and dry

1 — Damp

2 — Wet or water patches

3 — Rime of frost covered (Depth normally less than1mm)

4 — Dry snow

5 — Wet snow

6 — Slush

7 — Ice

8 — Compacted or rolled snow

9 — Frozen ruts or ridges

/ — Type of deposit not reported (e.g., due to runwayclearance in progress).

EXTENT OF RUNWAY CONTAMINATION(FOURTH DIGIT)

The extent of runway contamination is expressed asa single digit in accordance with the following scale:

1 — Less than 10% of runway contaminated(covered)

2 — 11% to 25% of runway contaminated (covered)



/ — not reported (e.g., due to runway clearance inprogress).

DEPTH OF DEPOSIT (FIFTH ANDSIXTH DIGITS)

The depth of deposit is indicated by two digits inaccordance with the following scale:

00 less than 1mm

01 = 1 mm

02 = 2 mm

etc.

10 = 10 mm

etc.

15 = 15 mm

etc.

20 = 20 mm

etc. up to

90 = 90 mm

NOTE: Code 91 is not used.

Thereafter, the depth is indicated by:

92 = 10 cm

93 = 15 cm

94 = 20 cm

95 = 25 cm

96 = 30 cm

97 = 35 cm

98 = 40 cm or more

99 = runway or runways non-operational due tosnow, slush, ice, large drifts or runway clearance,but depth not reported.

// = Depth of deposit operationally not significantor not measurable.

The quoted depth is the mean of a number of read-ings or, if operationally significant, the greatest depthmeasured.

FRICTION CO-EFFICIENT OR BRAKINGACTION (SEVENTH AND EIGHTH DIGITS)

The friction co-efficient is denoted by two digits or, ifthe co-efficient is not available, the braking action isdenoted by two digits.

a. Friction co-efficient

EXAMPLE:

28 - friction co-eficient 0.28

35 - friction co-efficien 0.35

etc.

b. Braking action

95 = Good

94 = Medium / Good

93 = Medium

92 = Medium / Poor

91 = Poor

99 = Unreliable

// = Braking action not reported; Runway notoperational, Aerodrome closed; etc.

NOTE 1: Where Braking Action is assessed at a num-ber of points along a runway, the mean value will betransmitted or, if operationally significant, the lowestvalue.

NOTE 2: If measuring equipment does not allow mea-surement of friction with satisfactory reliability, whichmay be the case when a runway is contaminated bywet snow, slush, or loose snow, the figures 99 will beused.

AUSTRIA

When the visibility is 10Km or more, the exact visibil-ity is reported in steps of 1Km up to 30Km and insteps of 5Km above 30Km.

RVR-mean values, -extreme values and -tendencyare reported at Vienna and Salzburg airports only.

If deposit of rime is observed the description FZ isused in combination with abbreviations BCFG,PRFG and BR too.

Additional condition for use of the term CAVOK: noTCU.

When the term CAVOK is used in reports in abbrevi-ated plain language, visibility, present weather andclouds are reported in brackets.

For routine reports from aeronautical stations not lo-cated at international airports the following applies:

– Instead of the ICAO location indicator the stationindex number (IIiii) is used by stations not locat-ed at an aerodrome.

– The term CAVOK is not used.

– For reporting maximum horizontal visibility addi-tional criteria are used; so this group will be re-ported more often.

– When the visibility is 10Km or more it will be cod-ed as mentioned above. 99Km indicates a visibil-ity of 100Km or more.

– All cloud types are reported, e.g. OVC010ST.

The height of cloud base is not reported for thecloud types CI, CC and CS, e.g. SCTCI.

hshshs = not reported if in mountainous region

tops, but not the cloud base of a convectivecloud is visible, e.g. FEWCB.

The indicator RMK is reported in the AUTOMETAR for the notification of cloud bases.

After RMK, the data will be reported as follows:

BASE XX CLDhhh

Cloud amount will not be reported.

Ceilometer location identifiers are:

EXAMPLE: BASE AB CLD015

– All supplementary information available is addedand distributed internationally. The total amountof cloud is reported at the end of the report usingabbreviations listed above.

BELGIUM

In meteorological bulletins provided by the MET ser-vice for Spa and St. Hubert, the wind value is the av-erage over a period of 10 minutes. A repetitor in thebulletin indicates the present wind value.

RVR calculations are based on the maximum inten-sity of the runway lights.

FRANCE

The following aerodromes use a cloud base otherthan 1500m (5000ft) as criterion in defining CAVOK(i.e., no clouds below the listed height).

GEOGRAPHICAL AND MAGNETIC WIND

DIRECTION

All airports east of Tromso have a significant devia-tion in wind direction between geographical Northand magnetic North.

In spoken communication from ATS, inclusive ATIS,the magnetic wind direction is stated.

In written communication, METAR, SPECI, TAF, thegeographical wind direction is given.

Thus, a deviation in wind direction stated orally fromATS, inclusive ATIS, and the wind direction given onMETAR, exist for the following airports in the North-eastern part of Norway:

Alta, ENAT: 8°E

Berlevag, ENBV: 12°E

Batsfjord, ENBS: 12°E

Hammerfest, ENHF: 9°E

Hasvik, ENHK: 8°E

Vadso, ENVD: 12°E

Vardo/Svartnes, ENSS: 12°E

SWEDEN

SIGMET information is not issued concerningen-route weather phenomena at transonic levels andsupersonic cruising levels.

Due to limited capacity for maintaining a continuoussurvey of wind shear conditions, wind shear warn-ings are not issued.

Information on the observed occurrence of windshear at an aerodrome is included in routine obser-vations and reports issued at the aerodrome.

SPECI is not issued in Sweden.

SWITZERLAND

Additionally to the conditions described in Annex 3the minimal visibility is also reported if it is less than5 km with a prevailing visibility of 5 km or higher.

UNITED KINGDOM

The METAR and TAF issued on behalf of the UKMET Authority will not report until further notice:

– Trends and Significant Variations in RVR;

– Vertical Visibility;

– Wind Shear;

– Forecast Temperature;

– Forecast Airframe Ice Accretion;

– Forecast Turbulence.

– SPECI

Following abbreviations have been adopted at Lon-don (Heathrow) and Belfast (Aldergrove) for use intheir Windshear Alerting Service.

a. “Windshear Forecast” (WSF)-when the meteoro-logical conditions indicate that low level winds-hear on the approach or climb-out (below 2000ft)may be encountered.

b. “Windshear Forecast and Reported” (WSRF)-asabove, supported by a report from at least oneaircraft of windshear on the approach or climboutwithin the last hour.

c. “Windshear Reported” (WSR)-when an aircrafthas reported on the approach or climb-out withinthe last hour, but insufficient meteorological evi-dence exists for the issue of a forecast of winds-hear.
