6.4 “WHEN ABLE HIGHER” (WAH) REPORTS
6.4.1 Prior advice to ATC of the time or position that a flight will be able to accept the next higher level can assist ATC in ensuring optimal usage of available altitudes. A WAH Report must be provided by all flights entering the MNPS Airspace portion of the New York OCA and entering the Santa Maria OCA. Due to the higher number of step climb requests on the generally longer NAT route segments that transit New York and Santa Maria OCAs and also because of the greater frequency of crossing traffic situations here, the strategy of issuing “coast-out to coast-in” conflict-free clearances is not always employed by these two oceanic control centres. Here, air traffic control of a more tactical nature is often exercised. The provision of WAH Reports in these circumstances allows the controllers to more effectively utilise their airspace and provide aircraft more fuel efficient profiles. Provision of WAH Reports on entering other NAT OCAs is optional or they may be requested by any OAC.
6.4.2 When required or when otherwise provided, upon entering an oceanic FIR, pilots should include in the initial position report the time or location that the flight will be able to accept the next higher altitude. The report may include more than one altitude if that information is available.
Example: ”Global Air 543, 40 North 040 West at 1010, Flight Level 350, Estimating 40 North 050 West at 1110, 40 North 060 West Next.
Able Flight Level 360 at 1035, Able Flight Level 370 at 1145,
Able Flight Level 390 at 1300”
6.4.3 Information thus provided of the aircraft‟s future altitude “ability” will not automatically be interpreted by ATC as an advance “request” for a step climb. It will be used as previously indicated to assist ATC in planning airspace utilisation. However, should the pilot wish to register a request for one or more future step climbs, this may be incorporated in the WAH report by appropriately substituting the word “Request” for the word “Able”.

Example: “Global Air 543, 42 North 040 West at 1215, Flight Level 330, Estimating 40 North 050 West at 1310, 38 North 060 West Next.
Request Flight Level 340 at 1235, Able Flight Level 350 at 1325,
Request Flight Level 360 at 1415”
6.4.4 Although optimal use of the WAH reports is in conjunction with a Position Report, a WAH report can be made or updated separately at any time.
Example: “Global Air 543, Able Flight Level 360 at 1035, Request Flight Level 370
at 1145, Able Flight Level 390 at 1300”
6.4.5 It should be noted that ATC acknowledgement of a WAH report (and any included requests) is NOT a clearance to change altitude.
6.5 METEOROLOGICAL REPORTS
6.5.1 Some aircraft flying in the NAT are required to report MET observations of wind speed and direction plus outside air temperature. Any turbulence encountered should be included in these reports. From among the aircraft intending to operate on the organised track system, OACs designate those which will be required to report routine meteorological observations at, and midway between, each prescribed reporting point. The designation is made by the OAC when issuing the Oceanic Clearance using the phrase “SEND MET REPORTS“, and is normally made so as to designate one aircraft per track at approximately hourly intervals. Pilots flying routes which are partly or wholly off the OTS should include routine MET observations with every prescribed report. The midpoint observation should be recorded then transmitted at the next designated reporting point. The format to be used for the reporting of such additional observations must be by reference to the latitude (degrees and minutes) and longitude (degrees only) for the intermediate mid-point. It should be recognised that the use of the term “MID” is insufficient for direct input into MET computers.
6.5.2 When a ground unit establishes an event contract with an aircraft to provide ADS position reports, it may also establish an additional periodic report contract (e.g. with a 30 mn interval). Such ADS periodic reports, unlike event reports, contain wind and temperature data and thereby satisfy the MET authorities requirements. Similarly, “FMC Waypoint position reports” sent via datalink also include wind and temperature data and aircraft participating in such a datalink programme are deemed to meet the MET authorities requirement for the provision of MET data. Nevertheless, it must be appreciated that any such automated MET Reports do not include information on any turbulence or any other unusual meteorological phenomena. Any pilot providing position reports via datalink, who encounters turbulence, etc, should report this information via voice or, if appropriate, via a CPDLC free text downlink message.
