9. Is the TAF review focused on cost savings rather than safety?
Safety is paramount to the TAF Review and is a major driver for undertaking the review. The TAF Review has identified that the quality of TAFs would be improved, and safety enhanced, by ensuring that all TAF sites meet minimum observation requirements that exceed the current observational infrastructure at many aerodromes.
The review intends to ensure all TAF services are supported by adequate observations and that forecasting staff are able to both monitor the large number of observations and be responsive to changes to the forecast conditions.
The proposed changes will improve the quality of aviation weather services and provide capacity for additional services as required by the industry.
Sounds like they are saying they don't have the staff/equipment to do the job properly. To increase safety they will do less so it's done properly. Wish I could do my job that way.
PS is "Safety is paramount" now one of those phrases in corporate communications that automatically ring alarm bells?
