Purpose
To assist the Standing Committee on Services for Aviation (SC-AVI) in the development of an update to the 2019 edition of the Long-term Plan for Aeronautical Meteorology (LTP-AeM).
The proposed update to the LTP-AeM is expected to increase focus on the evolution of aeronautical meteorological service delivery over the next decade and beyond taking into consideration current and foreseen scientific and technological advances plus other drivers for change and influencing factors such as climate change impacts mitigation, adaptation and resilience, reducing aviation's impact on the environment, and responding to the socio-economic impacts of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The update to the LTP-AeM (2026 edition) is planned to be submitted for the consideration of SC-AVI-4 in September 2025 and Services Commission (SERCOM-4) in 2026. During this period a determination will be made as to whether the LTP-AeM will be submitted to Congress or Executive Council.
Expected Output (Deliverable)
The update to the LTP-AeM will be formulated around a proposed new structure and new or updated content according to the following table:
| Section Title | Illustrative Content |
|---|---|
| Introduction / Background |
|
| Future of aeronautical meteorology service provision |
|
| Changing roles of aeronautical meteorological service providers |
|
| Transition to future state (road map) |
