How onerous is that for FW/ATS/ATC? Responding to such RQs is part of their ATS.
If proceeding to such a location as I described, why wouldn't you enroute proactively check the location's WX reports including those for your alternate(s), particularly up to your diversion point? How else are you going to know what the situation is on which to base decisions, without finding out yourself?
AIP GEN 3.3 paras 2.1.1, 2.3.1, 2.4.1 etc. & CAR 239.
Thanks for that.
As I said at #1148, I’ve learned something new.
Up until now I was labouring under the misapprehension that the ANSP would proactively provide new safety-critical information of which it becomes aware, to flights of which the ANSP is aware and to whom that information may be relevant. I now realise I was labouring under a misapprehension. It may not be provided unless requested.
