TAF quality improvement (TQI) efforts in Canada
The Meteorological Service of Canada produces over 180 TAFs
across Canada under contract to NAV CANADA, a private company that's
responsible for the air navigation system in Canada. In order to improve the
quality of the TAFs, a program has been initiated that examines aspects of
TAF construction and their impacts on the users. The four categories being
considered are accuracy, utility, client contact, and error reduction. The
presentation will highlight steps being taken in each of these aspects and
cover the progress that's been made to date. Of related interest are new
tools (software and guidance products) and a decision-making process for
delivering the best forecast possible.
