Descend to What Height?!?
10th Sep 2010, 07:53
We've noticed there has been no TAF issued for several days for SUMU, but there is a METAR
Can anyone shed any light on this, and if SUMU is still open for business, as we can't find anything in the NOTAMS.
Many thanks

Aero,
thank you for that.
We understand that the staff at the weather office may be taking industrial action? So there is no official TAF being issued, but the airport staff (ATC?) are prodicing the METAR, and the field is still open.
Can any one confirm this pease?
The last TAF on the NOAA (or any other) site was generated at 15:20 UTC on the 6th, as set out below from the NOAA web site:
