1 WMO/ICAO AMF Competencies Workshop on Aeronautical Competencies and SIGMETs August 26 st, 2015 Karine Dumas Meteorological Service of Canada Montreal

2 Competency Hierarchy Top-level Competencies WMO 49 Vol 1 Standards Second-level Competencies Describe and elaborate on the standards National Competencies Use examples of the second level to adapt the top-level competencies to suit the national situation

3 Top-level competencies Conditions For the area and airspace of responsibility In consideration of the impact of meteorological phenomena on aviation operations In compliance with aviation user requirements, international regulations, local procedures and priorities

4 AMF Top-Level Competencies An Aeronautical Meteorological Forecaster shall: 1. Analyze and monitor continuously the weather situation. 2. Forecast aeronautical meteorological phenomena and parameters. 3. Warn of hazardous phenomena. 4. Ensure the quality of meteorological information and services. 5. Communicate meteorological information to internal and external users.
