IFALPA published a Safety Bulletin regarding  Space Weather Advisories.

 ICAO Annex 3, Chapter 9 provides detailed Standards and Recommended Practices for Meteorological information to be supplied to operators and flight crew members for preflight planning, inflight replanning, use by flight crew members before departure, and aircraft in flight. 

It has recently been discovered that some providers of the flight briefing packages do not include the ICAO – standard Space Weather Advisories as provided for in ICAO Annex 3 Chapter 9, 9.1.3 k. This means that many pilots do not receive the advisories. 

We encourage you to take note of this important Safety Bulletin.
