FLIGHT PLANNING PROCEDURES

Meteo briefing in support of the planning of the aircrafts flight tracks was executed by the Flight Planning Meteorologist (FPM) in close co-operation with the forecast office and the aviation meteorologist on duty. The Flight Planning Coordinator (FPC) was responsible for the final decision on the flights and changes in the flight plans during the flights, always in close cooperation with pilots/researchers on the aircrafts and the Cabauw Coordinator (CC). The Cabauw Coordinator also provided in-situ cloud information to the FPC before and during the flights.
