3. AMP Competence and Qualification requirements
ICAO Annex 3 Para states: ‘Each Contracting State shall ensure that the designated MET authority complies with the requirements of the WMO in respect of qualifications and training of MET personnel providing services for international air navigation.’
In 2016 the name of 1083 will need to change from Manual to Guide to conform with the nomenclature of the technical regulations. We nearly got it right and had consulted on the name but were given the wrong advice.

4. AMP Competence and Qualification requirements
Competence requirements defined in
WMO No. 49 Technical Regulations
WMO AMP competence Standards are now included in WMO-No.49 Technical Regulations, Volume I
Qualification requirements for AMF only defined in
Volume I of WMO-No.49
WMO No Manual on the Implementation of Education and Training Standards in Meteorology and Hydrology provides further guidance

5. Aeronautical Meteorological Personnel
Aeronautical Meteorological Forecasters
Satisfy competence requirements by December 2013 (specified by CAeM)
Satisfy the BIP-M qualification requirements (for the area and airspace of responsibility and in compliance with aviation user requirements, international regulations, local procedures and priorities ) by December2016
Aeronautical Meteorological Observers
Satisfy competence requirements by November 2013 (specified by CAeM)
By end of November 2013
By end of November 2016 (remove the classified as Meteorologist) as we do not state this. There is a subtle and implicit link through the BIP-M but it is not stated and this will drag us back to 2003 if we state it.

Ability to demonstrate conformance with the AMP competence Standards by December 1st, 2013.
Quality Management System
Competence
I would do this as an animation
Have the QMS come in 16 Nov 2012?
Then the competence standards, a little smaller than now 1 Dec 2013 then add quals 1 Dec You could have a little calendar in the corner that gives the dates

10. Aeronautical Meteorological Forecaster
Analyse and monitor continuously the weather situation
Forecast aeronautical meteorological phenomena and parameters
Warn of hazardous phenomena
Ensure the quality of meteorological information and services
Communicate meteorological information to internal and external users
Sugest graphic of AMF to provide visual clue to the text
The first level competencies and RTCs can address them

11. Aeronautical Meteorological Observer
Monitor continuously the weather situation
Observe and record aeronautical meteorological phenomena and parameters
Ensure the quality of the performance of systems and of meteorological information
Communicate meteorological information to internal and external users
Suggest graphic for AMO to provide visual clue to the text
Similar to forecasters

2nd level Competencies
Developed by the CAeM Expert Team on Education and Training and contain:
For each top-level competence there are:
Competence description
Performance criteria
Allows for regional variations (e.g. range of weather phenomena, regional regulations and communications technology)
Identifies background knowledge and skills (e.g. meteorology, standards and procedures, and user requirements)

14. Second level competence description
Provides broad plain language outline
E.g. Forecast aeronautical meteorological phenomena and parameters
Forecasts of meteorological parameters and phenomena are prepared and issued in accordance with documented requirements, priorities and deadlines

15. Second level competence performance criteria
Outlines broad performance criteria
e.g. Forecast aeronautical meteorological phenomena and parameters
Forecast the following weather parameters: temperature and humidity, wind, .....
Ensure that forecasts are prepared and issued in accordance with ICAO Annex 3, WMO No.49 Vol.2, regional and national formats and technical.....
Ensure that forecasts of weather parameters and phenomena are consistent (spatially and temporally) across boundaries of the area of responsibility as far as practicable.....

17. Third level The critical level
At this level you adapt the global competence standards to the national conditions and requirements related to
the area and airspace of responsibility
the impact of meteorological phenomena and parameters on aviation operations
aviation user requirements, international regulations, local procedures and priorities
Capabilities of the meteorological service provider
These are the national competencies and will be the basis of the national assessment

18. Goal of Competence Assessments
To demonstrate that Aeronautical Meteorological Personnel (AMP) are competent.
Not perfection; rather, it is to document the assessment and to have processes in place to identify deficiencies to ensure ongoing improvement.
Every assessment system will have deficiencies which will need to be documented and addressed.

19. What is Competence Assessment ?
Moving from:
« Tell me what you know »
This is knowledge and traditionally related to qualifications
Moving to
« Show me what you can do »
This is about job performance and competence

Unable to demonstrate conformance with the competence Standards by 1 Dec 2013
A non-compliance issue could be raised against the associated ICAO requirement
ICAO Annex 3 Paragraph Each Contracting State shall ensure that the designated meteorological authority complies with the requirements of the World Meteorological Organization in respect of qualifications and training of meteorological personnel providing service for international air navigation.
Note: Full compliance must be demonstrated by December 1st, 2016

22. What support is available?
WMO-CAeM Expert Team
endorse that “what you say that you do” meets requirements, support QMS processes and; identify opportunities for improvement or deficiencies.
NOTE: WMO can not verify that you actually do what you say that you do (very important – WMO does not certify)
