The Australian Transport Safety Bureau recommends that
Airservices Australia in conjunction with the Bureau of Meteorology
develop a position in major air traffic control locations, to be
staffed with Bureau of Meteorology meteorologists, to be the focal
point for weather information coordination.
The following response dated 29 January 2003 was received from
Airservices Australia:
Airservices Australia agrees in principle with the recommendation
but issues of roles and responsibilities and cost recovery require
definition and resolution.
A response dated 7 August 2003 was received from Airservices
Australia:
In relation to recommendation R20020186, Airservices Australia
believes that no quantitative or qualitative evidence has been
provided to support the creation of the proposed staff position. As
a result the recommendation is not supported.
A further response dated 13 April 2004 was received from
Airservices Australia:
Airservices Australia believes that there was no evidence to
support the creation of such a position. The recommendation was
therefore not supported and no further action has been taken.
