The aim of this Technical Note is to provide the reader an internationally agreed set of guidelines for meteorological forecasting in soaring flight and related activities. As pointed out in the Introduction, this includes forecasters at busy aerodrome mete- orological offices routinely receiving enquiries from pilots, as well as those detached on the field to proVide forecasting support during contests and shows.
