Abstract

Between 2008 and 2013 the headcount of our division decreased by 25%, so we had not enough human capacity for making forecast for flying sports manually, as we did it earlier. So, we developed new, automatic methods based on numerical weather prediction model data for calculation of thermal lifting, Cumulus probability and other important elements. We had several meetings with pilots; we had different permission procedures connected to our new homepage. Our new website – www.aviation.met.hu – is operational since November 2016.
