The third meeting of the Liaison Group for General Aviation was
held on 6 July 2007 at the Hong Kong Observatory Headquarters.
Representatives from different sectors of the local general aviation
community, including the Government Flying Service, the Hong Kong
Aviation Club and local helicopter companies joined the meeting. Through
regular meetings of the liaison group, the Observatory can better
understand users' needs and receive comments to improve its weather
services for general aviation. According to a recent customer survey on
general aviation, all respondents considered the liaison group very useful
and important, and they were all satisfied with the weather services
provided by the Observatory for general aviation.
Staff of the Observatory introduced to the users newly developed
products and collected their feedback during the meeting. Among the
new products and services, the service of sharing of weather reports for
general aviation received numerous compliments from the users. In that
service, the Observatory provides a platform for pilots from local aviation
organisations to upload and share their weather reports. The weather
reports can serve as a reference for other pilots planning their flight mission
and allow them to get hold of more comprehensive weather information.
The service is currently in trial phase and further optimisation work is
underway with useful user comments being incorporated.
