Airport inspections

Inspection of airport aviation met. provision against ICAO Annex 3

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) requires member States to regularly inspect airport meteorological services to ensure the regulated services provided comply with ICAO Annex 3.

The Met Office offers unrivalled experience and expertise in this area, regularly assessing the level of compliance at airports both in the UK and other countries, to satisfy this ICAO requirement.

We are able to assess against all, or any part, of ICAO Annex 3, including observations, instrumentation, communications, pre-flight briefing and forecasts. We also provide an executive summary and actions arising, to ensure compliance with ICAO. We can provide detailed written reports to the meteorological service provider and regulator, advising on overcoming non-compliance issues arising from the inspection.
