Recommendation 2: The TRWG recommends that subject to the implementation of appropriate risk mitigation that the TTF service be ceased and that, where appropriate, the TAF be routinely issued every three hours instead of every six hours. In addition, the TAF should be amended to provide similar responsiveness, accuracy and operational meteorological information as the current TTF.
