30.4 Aerodrome Forecast (TAF). A concise state-ment of the expected meteorological conditions at an airport during a specified period. At most locations, TAFs have a 24 hour forecast period. However, TAFs for some locations have a 30 hour forecast period. These forecast periods may be shorter in the case of an amended TAF. TAFs use the same codes as METAR weather reports. They are scheduled four times daily for 24.hour periods beginning at 0000Z, 0600Z, 1200Z, and 1800Z.
Forecast times in the TAF are depicted in two ways. The first is a 6.digit number to indicate a specific point in time, consisting of a two.digit date, two.digit hour, and two.digit minute (such as issuance time or FM). The second is a pair of four.digit numbers separated by a “/” to indicate a beginning and end for a period of time. In this case, each four.digit pair consists of a two.digit date and a two.digit hour.
TAFs are issued in the following format:
TYPE OF REPORT/ICAO STATION IDEN-
TIFIER/DATE AND TIME OF ORIGIN/VAL-
ID PERIOD DATE AND TIME/FORECAST
METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS
NOTE.
The “/” above and in the following descriptions are for separation purposes in this publication and do not appear in the actual TAFs.

TAF format observed in the above example:
TAF = type of report
KORD = ICAO station identifier
051130Z = date and time of origin (issuance time)
0512/0618 = valid period date and times
14008KT 5SM BR BKN030 = forecast meteorolo-gical conditions
30.4.1 Explanation of TAF elements
30.4.1.1 Type of Report. There are two types of TAF issuances, a routine forecast issuance (TAF) and an amended forecast (TAF AMD). An amended TAF is issued when the current TAF no longer adequately describes the on.going weather or the forecaster feels the TAF is not representative of the current or expected weather. Corrected (COR) or delayed (RTD) TAFs are identified only in the communica-tions header which precedes the actual forecasts.
30.4.1.2 ICAO Station Identifier. The TAF code uses ICAO 4.letter location identifiers as described in the METAR section.
