In this part of the METEOROLOGY section, selected Chapters and paragraphs have been extracted from
ICAO Annex 3 – Meteorological Service for International Air Navigation. Chapter and paragraph numbers
reflect those contained in the Annex.
CHAPTER 1 – DEFINITIONS
1.1
DEFINITIONS
When the following terms are used in the Standards
and Recommended Practices for Meteorological Service for International Air Navigation, they have the following meanings:
AERODROME CLIMATOLOGICAL SUMMARY —
Concise summary of specified meteorological elements at an aerodrome, based on statistical data.
AERODROME CLIMATOLOGICAL TABLE — Table
providing statistical data on the observed occurrence
of one or more meteorological elements at an aerodrome.
AERODROME METEOROLOGICAL OFFICE — An
office, located at an aerodrome, designated to provide meteorological service for international air navigation.
AERONAUTICAL FIXED TELECOMMUNICATION
NETWORK (AFTN) — A world-wide system of
aeronautical fixed circuits provided, as part of the
aeronautical fixed service, for the exchange of messages and/or digital data between aeronautical fixed
stations having the same or compatible communications characteristics.
STAAERONAUTICAL
METEOROLOGICAL
TION — A station designated to make observations
and meteorological reports for use in international air
navigation.
AIRCRAFT OBSERVATION — The evaluation of one
or more meteorological elements made from an aircraft in flight.
AIRMET INFORMATION — Information issued by
a meteorological watch office concerning the occurrence or expected occurrence of specified en route
weather phenomena which may affect the safety
of low-level aircraft operations and which was not
already included in the forecast issued for low-level
flights in the flight information region concerned or
sub-area thereof.
AIR-REPORT — A report from an aircraft in flight
prepared in conformity with requirements for position,
and operational and/or meteorological reporting.
NOTE: Details of the AIREP form are given in PANSATM (Doc 4444).
AUTOMATIC
DEPENDENT
SURVEILLANCE
(ADS) — A surveillance technique in which aircraft automatically provide, via a data link, data
derived from on-board navigation and position-fixing
systems, including aircraft identification, four-dimensional position and additional data as appropriate.
BRIEFING — Oral commentary on existing and/or
expected meteorological conditions.
CLOUD OF OPERATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE — A
cloud with the height of cloud base below 1500m
(5000ft) or below the highest minimum sector altitude,
whichever is greater, or a cumulonimbus cloud or a
towering cumulus cloud at any height.
CONSULTATION — Discussion with a meteorologist or another qualified person of existing and/or
expected meteorological conditions relating to flight
operations; a discussion includes answers to questions.
EXTENDED RANGE OPERATION — Any flight by
an aeroplane with two turbine power-units where the
flight time at the one power-unit inoperative cruise
speed (in ISA and still air conditions), from a point
on the route to an adequate alternate aerodrome, is
greater than the threshold time approved by the State
of the Operator.
FLIGHT DOCUMENTATION — Written or printed
documents, including charts or forms, containing
meteorological information for a flight.
FORECAST — A statement of expected meteorological conditions for a specified time or period, and for
a specified area or portion of airspace.
GAMET AREA FORECAST — An area forecast in
abbreviated plain language for low-level flights for
a flight information region or sub-area thereof, prepared by the meteorological office designated by the
meteorological authority concerned and exchanged
with meteorological offices in adjacent flight information regions, as agreed between the meteorological
authorities concerned.
GRID POINT DATA IN DIGITAL FORM — Computer
processed meteorological data for a set of regularly
spaced points on a chart, for transmission from a
meteorological computer to another computer in a
code form suitable for automated use.
NOTE: In most cases such data are transmitted on
medium or high speed telecommunications channels.
HUMAN FACTORS PRINCIPLES — Principles
which apply to aeronautical design, certification,
training, operations and maintenance and which
seek safe interface between the human and other
system components by proper consideration to
human performance.
INTERNATIONAL AIRWAYS VOLCANO WATCH
(IAVW) — International arrangements for monitoring
and providing warnings to aircraft of volcanic ash in
the atmosphere.
NOTE: The IAVW is based on the co-operation of aviation and non-aviation operational units using information derived from observing sources and networks
that are provided by States. The watch is coordinated
by ICAO with the co-operation of other concerned
international organizations.
METEOROLOGICAL AUTHORITY — The authority
providing or arranging for the provision of meteorological service for international air navigation on behalf
of a Contracting State.
METEOROLOGICAL BULLETIN — A text comprising meteorological information preceded by an appropriate heading.
METEOROLOGICAL INFORMATION — Meteorological report, analysis, forecast and any other
statement relating to existing or expected meteorological conditions.

METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE FOR INTERNATIONAL AIR TRAFFIC /
SIGMET, AIRMET, WSW - ANNEX 3
6.2.4
Recommendation. - When an aircraft
report is used to prepare a wind shear warning, or to
confirm a warning previously issued, the corresponding aircraft report, including the aircraft type, should
be disseminated unchanged in accordance with local
arrangements to those concerned.
NOTE 1: Following reported encounters by both arriving and departing aircraft two different wind shear
warnings may exist, one for arriving aircraft and one
for departing aircraft.
NOTE 2: Specifications for reporting the intensity
of wind shear are still undergoing development. It
is recognized, however, that pilots, when reporting
wind shear, may use the qualifying terms "moderate",
"strong" or "severe", based to a large extent on their
subjective assessment of the intensity of the wind
shear encountered.
Key:
6.2.5
The wind shear alerts shall be disseminated from automated, ground-based, wind shear
remote-sensing or detection equipment in accordance with local arrangements to those concerned.
6.2.6
Recommendation. - Where microbursts
are observed, reported by pilots or detected by
ground-based, wind shear detection or remote-sensing equipment, the wind shear warning and wind
shear alert should include a specific reference to
microburst.
6.2.7
Where information from ground-based
wind shear detection or remote-sensing equipment
is used to prepare a wind shear warning, the warning
should, if practicable, relate to specific sections of
the runway and distances along the approach path
or take-off path as agreed between the meteorological authority, the appropriate ATS authority and the
operators concerned.

SERVICES AND TELEPHONE NUMBERS
1-866-WXBRIEF will contact FSS from many locations in Canada. Locations where this service is not
available, as well as additional services and phone numbers, are listed within the following pages.
For a toll free call to Fairbanks FSS dial 1-866-248-6516.
FLIGHT SERVICE STATIONS AND NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
Telephone numbers for ATIS, AWOS, and TWEB are included.
LEGEND
AFSS
Automated Flight Service Station
ASOS
Automated Surface Observing System.
Reports the same as an AWOS-3 plus precipitation identification and intensity, and
freezing rain occurrence (future enhancement).
ATIS
Automated Terminal Information System.
AWOS
Automated Weather Observing System.
Consists of various sensors, a processor, a voice synthesizer, and transmitter to relay
local real-time weather data directly to the pilot. These systems are classified into four
basic levels:
AWOS-A Reports altimeter setting.
AWOS-1 Reports altimeter setting, wind data, and usually temperature, dew point, and
density altitude.
AWOS-2 Reports the same as AWOS-1 plus visibility.
AWOS-3 Reports the same as AWOS-1 plus visibility and cloud/ceiling data.
FFFP
Fast File Flight Plan System.
For pilots who already have obtained a weather briefing and desire only to file a flight plan.
Pilots may call the discrete telephone numbers listed and file flight plans in accordance
with recorded taped instructions. IFR flight plans will be extracted and entered in the
appropriate ARTCC computer. VFR flight plans will be retained at the FSS for activation
by the pilot. This equipment is designed to automatically disconnect after 8 seconds of no
transmission, so pilots are instructed to speak at a normal speech rate without lengthy
pauses between flight plan elements. Pilots are urged to file flight plans into this system
at least 30 minutes in advance of proposed departure.
FIC
FLIGHT INFORMATION CENTER

TABLE 7-1-8 Turbulence Reporting Criteria Table
Intensity
Aircraft Reaction
Turbulence that
momentarily causes slight,
erratic changes in altitude
and/or attitude (pitch, roll,
yaw). Report as Light
Turbulence;1
Light
Reaction Inside Aircraft
Occupants may feel a slight
strain against seat belts or
shoulder straps. Unsecured
objects may be displaced
slightly. Food service may be
conducted and little or no
difficulty is encountered in
walking.
Reporting Term-Definition
Occasional — Less than 1/3 of
the time.
Intermittent — 1/3 to 2/3.
or
Turbulence that causes
slight, rapid and somewhat
rhythmic bumpiness
without appreciable
changes in altitude or
attitude. Report as Light
Chop.1
Continuous — More than 2/3.
Moderate
Turbulence that is similar to
Light Turbulence but of
greater intensity. Changes
in altitude and/or attitude
occur but the aircraft
remains in positive control
at all times. It usually
causes variations in
indicated airspeed. Report
as Moderate Turbulence;1
Occupants feel definite strains
against seat belts or shoulder
straps. Unsecured objects are
dislodged. Food service and
walking are difficult.
or
2. Duration may be based on
time between two locations
or over a single location. All
locations should be readily
identifiable.
Turbulence that is similar to
Light Chop but of greater
intensity. It causes rapid
bumps or jolts without
appreciable changes in
aircraft altitude or attitude.
Report as Moderate
Chop.1
Severe
Turbulence that causes
large, abrupt changes in
altitude and/or attitude. It
usually causes large
variations in indicated
airspeed. Aircraft may be
momentarily out of control.
Report as Severe
Turbulence.1
Extreme
Turbulence in which the
aircraft is violently tossed
about and is practically
impossible to control. It
may cause structural
damage. Report as
Extreme Turbulence.1
NOTE:
1. Pilots should report
location(s), time (UTC),
intensity, whether in or near
clouds, altitude, type of
aircraft and, when applicable,
duration of turbulence.
Occupants are forced violently
against seat belts or shoulder
straps. Unsecured objects are
tossed about. Food Service
and walking are impossible.
EXAMPLE:
