Over the next decade, improvements will arise as a result of several factors: information content, presentation format, and availability. Three operational benefits will result from the improved and integrated NWS and FAA system. First, pilots, controllers, and traffic managers will have access to more accurate, higher-resolution analyses and forecasts, some of them tailored to be flight and route specific. Second, all involved will be using a common family of impact variables and decision aids. Third, controllers will be relieved of the duty of being weather information conduits; they and the pilots would have the same integrated information on their displays and each would know what the other was seing. The overall result of the NWS and FAA modernizations will be an aviation system with significantly improved safety, efficiency, and capacity. 收起
