Amending the TAF
Now we'll write the amendment. If you'd like guidance on how TAFs are formulated, access the Aviation Resources link to the left.
Here's the previous TAF valid from 00 UTC 20 July to 06 UTC 21 July.
Question 1: Re-write the highlighted change group by selecting the correct term for each group.
Since we anticipate that the fog and reduced visibility will persist, the TAF needs to be amended. Calming winds and horizontal visilibity of less than 1000 m need to be included.
Question 2: How does this portion of the amendment affect the forecast flight category? Select the correct option.
The correct answer is C.
An amendment to the TAF is necessary because of the significant drop in visibility and its impact on the flight categories, and the potential impact on aviation planning and operations.
