The retrieval of information will be done via Request/Reply using a WFS whereby the IWXXM-dataset is wrapped into a GML-FeatureType.
Common requirements for providers of air traffic management/air navigation services. The context is the exchange of meteorological information for aerodromes and contribution to iSWIM. ISWIM is part of the EU Implementing Regulation (IP) 716-2014 - the Pilot Common Project supporting the implementation of the European Air Traffic Management Master Plan.
Meteorological information shall be supplied to operators and flight crew members for a) pre-flight planning by operators; b) in-flight replanning by operators using centralized operational control of flight operations; c) use by flight crew members before departure; and d) aircraft in flight.
Meteorological information supplied to operators and flight crew members shall be up to date and include the following information, as agreed between the meteorological authority and the operators concerned: [...] METAR or SPECI (including trend forecasts as issued in accordance with regional air navigation agreement) for the aerodromes of departure and intended landing, and for take-off, en-route and destination alternate aerodromes; [...]
Recommendation: Until 4 November 2020, METAR and SPECI should be disseminated in IWXXM GML form in addition to the dissemination of the METAR and SPECI in accordance with 2.1.2. (additional Note: this means the traditional alphanumeric codes format). As of 5 November 2020, METAR and SPECI shall be disseminated in IWXXM GML form in addition to the dissemination of the METAR and SPECI in accordance with 2.1.2. Note.\u2014 The technical specifications for IWXXM are contained in the Manual on Codes (WMO-No. 306), Volume I.3, Part D \u2014 Representation Derived from Data Models. Guidance on the implementation of IWXXM is provided in the Manual on the Digital Exchange of Aeronautical Meteorological Information (Doc 10003).
Meteorological data and information - (a) A meteorological services provider shall provide operators, flight crew members, air traffic services units, search and rescue services units, aerodrome operators, accident and incident investigation bodies, and other service providers and aviation entities with the meteorological information necessary for the performance of their respective functions, as determined by the competent authority. (b) A meteorological services provider shall provide operators, flight crew members, air traffic services units, search and rescue services units, aerodrome operators, accident and incident investigation bodies, and other service providers and aviation entities with the meteorological information necessary for the performance of their respective functions, as determined by the competent authority.
