2.7.1 International Flights of Transport Aircraft
The basic obligations for meteorological service for International Air Navigation are contained in the ICAO Annex 3.
Pilots-in-command of transport aircraft and meteorological officers should comply with the regulations concerning briefing, de-briefing, documentation and in-flight weather observation and reporting.
2.7.2 Operational and Training Flights
2.7.2.1 Briefing
No pilot is allowed to take-off unless he is fully briefed on the meteorological situation.Attendance to a general or an individual meteorological briefing is mandatory. This shall be by means of personal contact with the aerodrome meteorological office or by means of consultation of network displayed briefings. When personal briefing or consultation is impracticable, meteorological information should be provided by telephone or other suitable telecommunication facilities.Flight documentation will be issued when considered necessary and as agreed between aerodrome meteorological office and the flight crew members.
2.7.2.2 In-flight Weather Observation
Debriefing should always include the weather elements so that actual enroute information is obtained. If the qualified meteorological officer does not receive the weather de-briefing, weather information should be made available to the debriefing officer who will pass it to the local meteorological office or station for onward dissemination through national channels.Aircrew will usually be able to provide detailed information and they are encouraged to draft a pilot-report (PIREP) using the pro-format. The value of aircrew weather reports is increased if, prior to take-off, pilots are given some indication where weather observation is considered most important.
