Implementing Regulation 2021/116 (CP1), AF 5 (System Wide Information Management)
5.1 Operational and technical scope, The context is the support of common infrastructure components (5.1.1), the exchange of meteorological information compliant with the SWIM yellow profile technical infrastructure and specifications (5.1.2) and the ATM sub-functionality on Meteorological information exchange (5.1.4). Meteorological information provided supporting aeronautical processes and aids involving the relevant MET information, translation processes to derive constraints for weather and convert such information in an ATM impact, where the system capability mainly targets a ‘time to decision’ horizon between 20 minutes and 7 daysdepending on service payload for aerodrome and/or en-route/approach and/or network information management.

Implementing Regulation 2021/116 (CP1), AF 5 (System Wide Information Management)
5.3 Stakeholders required to implement the functionality and implementation target dates. (b) Meteorological information exchange must be implemented by all European area control centres, by the airports referred to in point 1.2, by the Network Manager and by MET providers. The common infrastructure components referred to in point 5.1.1 must be provided and operated by the above mentioned operational stakeholders by the implementation target date of 31 December 2024. They must must provide and operate SWIM sub-functionalities referred to in points 5.1.2 to 5.1.6 by the implementation target date of 31 December 2025. In deploying the SWIM functionality, Member States must ensure that civil or military cooperation is run to the extent required by point 3.2 of Annex VIII to Regulation (EU) 2018/1139.

5.4 Need for synchronisation. The timely network-wide implementation of SWIM infrastructure and the activation of the relevant services are essential pre-requisites for most of common project one ATM functionalities. The relevant stakholders must synchronise their implementation plans and efforts according to the deployment programme that must aim to achieving the same level of equipage and improve the network usage.
