• Regulation (EU) 2020/469 found in: ATM/ANS Provision of Services (2017/373) (Mar 2025)

ATS.OR.510 Meteorological information for units providing approach control service Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/469 (a) An air traffic services provider shall ensure that units providing approach control service are supplied with meteorological information for the airspace and the aerodromes with which they are concerned, as stipulated in point [MET.OR.242(b)](#_DxCrossRefBm647742501) of Annex V. (b) An air traffic services provider shall ensure that, where multiple anemometers are used, the displays to which they are related are clearly marked to identify the runway and section of the runway monitored by each anemometer. (c) An air traffic services provider shall ensure that units providing approach control service are provided with current pressure data for setting altimeters, for locations specified by the unit providing approach control service. (d) An air traffic services provider shall ensure that units providing approach control service for final approach, landing and take-off are equipped with surface wind display or displays. The display or displays shall be related to the same location or locations of observation and be fed from the same sensor or sensors as the corresponding display or displays in the aerodrome control tower or AFIS unit, or both, and in the aeronautical meteorological station, where such a station exists. (e) An air traffic services provider shall ensure that units providing approach control service for final approach, landing and take-off at aerodromes where runway visual range values are assessed by instrumental means, are equipped with display or displays permitting read-out of the current runway visual range values. The display or displays shall be related to the same location or locations of observation and be fed from the same sensor or sensors as the corresponding display or displays in the aerodrome control tower or AFIS unit, or both, and in the aeronautical meteorological station, where such a station exists. (f) An air traffic services provider shall ensure that units providing approach control service for final approach, landing and take-off at aerodromes where the height of cloud base is assessed by instrumental means, are equipped with display or displays permitting read-out of the current values of the height of cloud base. The displays shall be related to the same location or locations of observations and be fed from the same sensor or sensors as the corresponding display or displays in the aerodrome control tower or AFIS unit, or both, and in the aeronautical meteorological station, where such a station exists. (g) An air traffic services provider shall ensure that units providing approach control service for final approach, landing and take-off are supplied with available information on wind shear which could adversely affect aircraft on the approach or take-off paths or during circling approach.
