For example, airport weather forecasts (TAF), SIGMET Information & Aerodrome Warning, as well as advice that is useful for pilots' decision-making and to participate in the search and rescue of aircraft in an accident.

1. To install Automatic Weather Observation System (AWOS) Low Level Wind Shear Alert System (LLWAS)
2. Lightning Detection System (LDS)
3. Doppler Weather Radar
4. Satellite Meteorological Data Receiving System (MTSAT NOAA)
