Why are Standards Necessary? Universally accepted Standards and recommended practices SARPs All aspects of flights handled in uniform manner Without SARPs, our aviation system would be at best chaotic and at worst unsafe [www.icao.int] TMD Seminar on Enhancement of Aeronautical Meteorological Data Quality Services with new Technology Bangkok, 10 August 2017 9
How are SARPs created? The four "C's" of aviation Cooperation (in the formulation of SARPs) Consensus (in their approval) Compliance (in their application) Commitment (of adherence to this process) TMD Seminar on Enhancement of Aeronautical Meteorological Data Quality Services with new Technology Bangkok, 10 August 2017 10
