In accordance with Law 139/2000, the activity of aeronautical meteorology represents the set of activities intended for permanent surveillance and knowledge of the evolution of meteorological conditions, is necessary for information and meteorological protection of air navigation and is an integral part of air navigation services.

In turn, the activity of aeronautical meteorology is carried out in accordance with the standards, practices and recommendations of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), as well as with the provisions of international aviation conventions to which Romania is a party. in accordance with the specific regulations of the state authority in the field of civil aviation.

Satisfaction of the needs of meteorological information of air navigation, as well as integration in the international exchange of data and meteorological information, in the world meteorological surveillance system for monitoring and protection of the air environment is performed by the Autonomous Administration "Romanian Administration of Air Traffic Services" - ROMATSA, hereinafter referred to as, in the law, the Aeronautical Meteorological Administration, through its profile units authorized by the state authority in the field of civil aviation.

Def: aeronautical meteorologist - non-navigating aeronautical personnel holding an aeronautical meteorologist license which gives them the right to provide meteorological assistance to civil aeronautical activities under the conditions provided in the national regulation RACR-LMET, ed.3 / 2016.

Any person wishing to practice as an aeronautical meteorologist in Romania must hold an aeronautical meteorologist license that contains valid qualifications / degrees and authorizations, corresponding to the operational attributions he will have in the meteorological assistance activity of civil aeronautical activities.

The aeronautical meteorologist license is granted by the licensing authority, under the conditions of fulfilling the established competence requirements, in accordance with the provisions of the mentioned regulation.
