METEOROLOGICAL SERVICES are listed in which AIP section?

METEOROLOGICAL SERVICES are listed in which AIP section?

• A. GEN 3.5
• B. GEN 3.3
• C. ENR 4.1
• D. ENR 5.4

Answer: (A)

Meteorological services are treated as general information that applies to all flights, not tied to a specific route or phase of flight. In the AIP structure, that kind of broad, national information sits in the GEN (General) section. Within GEN, the subsection 3.5 is the part that outlines meteorological services—the weather information available to pilots and how to obtain it (METARs, TAFs, weather bulletins, etc.). En route sections (ENR) cover route-specific and region-specific details, so they aren’t the place for listing MET services. Hence, meteorological services are listed in GEN 3.5.
