Description
The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) has assigned four dedicated global space weather centers that distribute advisories about the space weather conditions that may affect civil aviation. PECASUS, the Partnership of Excellence for Civil Aviation Space weather User Services, is one of these centres and consists of members from Finland, Belgium, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Poland, Austria, Cyprus and the Netherlands. For over five years the centres have alternated every two weeks and together have issued numerous advisories. In this poster, I will present statistical analyses of the advisories and highlight several issues that hinder their computer readability — an essential feature for their widespread adoption and use. These issues arise from inconsistent numbering or incorrect use of the NR RPLC (replacement number) field and could potentially be avoided by implementing software-based validation checks prior to issuing new advisories.
