ENAV’s Air Traffic Control services also include weather reports and forecasts for air navigation, in accordance with national (ENAC) and international (ICAO) norms.
Meteorologists based at the Meteorological Forecast Unit (UPM) in Rome Are Control Centre (ACC) issue forecasts valid for 9, 24 and 30 hours, while airport weather stations issue hourly or half-hourly reports. Reports and weather forecasts are rebroadcast in real time on international telecoms networks.
Furthermore, weather messages for synoptic charts are also issued, as per World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) directives.
ENAV has also signed cooperation agreements with the Civil Protection Department and Italian Air Force, aimed at sharing and integrating resources in order to optimise systems for weather in Italy and ensure a systematic exchange of weather data.
ENAV is equipped with detection systems of airport weather conditions, able to measure all the parameters required by regulations such as wind, temperature, humidity, visibility, clouds and precipitation.
The ENAV systems are connected to the international network for receiving weather data from other national and international bodies responsible for similar activities with a central system of collecting data and forecasting.
