Air-reports as a part of position reports
Could someone proficient in ICAO regs. clarify the following:
Annex 3, 5.3.2 states: (when "routine air reports observations" shall be made): a) at which the applicable ATS procedures require routine position reports; and b) which are those separated by distances corresponding most closely to intervals of one hour of flying time.
Does this indeed implies that these observations (meteo air-reports - temp, wind dir/vel, turb, icing, humidity - as per appendix 4, 1.3) should be reported once an hour together with usual position reports?
