21 sty 2016 · Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts (TAFs) follow a slightly different format than METARs, and therefore, they deserve their own article. Like the other articles I have written on decoding NOTAMs and METARs, I will break down the overall structure of the TAF.
A terminal aerodrome forecast is a report established for the 5 statute mile radius around an airport. TAF reports are usually given for larger airports. Each TAF is valid for a 24-hour time period, and is updated four times a day at 0000Z, 0600Z, 1200Z, and 1800Z. The TAF utilizes the same descriptors and abbreviations as used in the METAR report.
Abstract: This report describes the characteristics of a good terminal aerodrome forecast worksheet and outlines steps for designing an effective worksheet for local use. The report recommends use of supplemental regime forms to ensure forecasters recognize and look at essential features that drive the weather. 14.
The TAF Verification Concept • A TAF (Terminal Aerodrome Forecast) gives forecasts of wind, visibility, preyent weather and cloud conditions for an airport. • Ranges of possible values or states are forecast – for most weather elements in classes. • A TAF is essentially a forecast for time periods.

22 gru 2020 · The Terminal Aerodrome Forecast, TAF, is a staple of aviation weather, known to almost every pilot. During my own Air Force career, I composed hundreds of TAFs for pilots not too different from you. In this article we’ll take an inside look at this tool in a more readable format than you’re probably used to.
