Looks Like 78 Aerodromes may lose funding for a TAF service unless they are willing to fork out the $20-65K per annum to keep it.
TAF Review
For the majority of these aerodromes (where an instrument approach procedure exists) most aircraft will be required to carry additional fuel to fly to an alternate aerodrome. It therefore becomes a cost-benefit analysis for the aerodrome owner or operator on whether to proceed with a contractual TAF service.
Once again the small operators are the ones who will have to fork out either in increased charges to keep the TAF service or in Fuel carried for alternates.
