The proceedings of a workshop on meteorological and environmental inputs to aviation systems held at The University of Tennessee Space Institute, Tullahoma, Tennessee, October 26 - 28, 1982, are reported. The workshop, jointly sponsored by NASA, NOAA, and FAA, brought together many disciplines of the aviation communities in round table discussions. The major objectives of the workshop are to satisfy such needs of the sponsoring agencies as the expansion of our understanding and knowledge of the interaction of the atmosphere with aviation systems, the better definition and implementation of services to operators with aviation systems, the better definition and implementation of services to operators, and the collection and interpretation of data for establishing operational criteria relating the total meteorological inputs from the atmospheric sciences to the needs of aviation communities. The unique aspects of the workshop were the diversity of the participants and the achievement of communication across the interface of the boundaries between pilots, meteorologists, training personnel, accident investigators, traffic controllers, flight operation personnel from military, civil, general aviation, and commercial interests alike. Representatives were in attendance from government, airlines, private agencies, aircraft manufacturers, Department of Defense, industries, research institutes, and universities. (Author)

Weather has significant impacts on the safety and efficiency of aviation. Someone-quarter to one-half of all aviation accidents are weather related. The present-day aviation weather system is obsolete, the needs of aviation for modern weather information systems are manifold and urgent. However, the study finds that it must be coupled with related programs of the FAA focused on aviation weather needs and on improving the presentation of aviation weather information. Major improvements are possible today but are not expected to be implemented by the federal government for many years. Further, the study indicates that to reduce the accidents improved weather education for pilots also is needed and should be based on the realities of weather impacts on flight, emphasizing the conditions and phenomena that can surprise pilots.

During calendar year 1980 the Safety Board's meteorologists investigated 72 aviation accidents. In 6 of these accident investigations involving 12 fatalities, the Safety Board determined that pertinent meteorological information was not passed to the pilot during the weather briefing provided by Flight Service Station (FSS) personnel, in spite of the fact that this information was required by Flight Services Handbook 7110.10. The Safety Board determined that failure to pass the information was a factor in 5 of the 6 accidents. In the remaining accident the Safety Board determined that the deficiency in the weather briefing was serious enough to warrant discussion. The Board initiated this special investigation to explore the reasons why pertinent weather information was not made available to pilots during weather briefings and to recommend methods to correct this problem.

To all peoples in all parts of the world throughout history, the ability to move about easily is a fundamental element of freedom. The American people have charged NASA to increase their freedom and that of their children knowing that their quality of life will improve as our nation s transportation systems improve. In pursuit of this safe, reliable, and affordable personalized air transportation option, in 2000 NASA established the Small Aircraft Transportation System (SATS) Project. As the name suggests personalized air transportation would be built on smaller aircraft than those used by the airlines. Of course, smaller aircraft can operate from smaller airports and 96% of the American population is within thirty miles of a high-quality, underutilized community airport as are the vast majority of their customers, family members, and favorite vacation destinations.

Various aspects of aeronautical meteorology are addressed. Training ofaeronautical meteorological personnel, publications and guidance material, and cooperation with other international organizations are discussed. The resolutions and recommendations of the commission are presented. These include recommendations from the advisory working group of the commission, from the working group on advanced techniques, and from the working group on the provision of meteorological information required before and during flight. A complete list of participants is listed in the annex.

For all its activity statistics, general-aviation is the most vulnerable to hazardous weather. Of concern to the general aviation industry are: (1) the slow pace of getting units of the Automated Weather Observation System (AWOS) to the field; (2) the efforts of the National Weather Service to withdraw from both the observation and dissemination roles of the aviation weather system; (3) the need for more observation points to improve the accuracy of terminal and area forecasts; (4) the need for improvements in all area forecasts, terminal forecasts, and winds aloft forecasts; (5) slow progress in cockpit weather displays; (6) the erosion of transcribed weather broadcasts (TWEB) and other deficiencies in weather information dissemination; (7) the need to push to make the Direct User Access Terminal (DUAT) a reality; and (7) the need to improve severe weather (thunderstorm) warning systems.

The Aviation Automatic Weather Observation System (AV-AWOS) Preliminary System Description is a summarization of the descriptive material contained in the FAA Engineering Requirement,FAA-ER-450-015and the NWS (National Weather Service) AV-AWOS Development Plan supplemented by information from NWS with respect to their on-going development work. At this point in the development cycle,there are a number of areas that require further definition for guidance to the development activities. These areas are identified by a list of questions in Appendix A.

The proceedings of a workshop on meteorological and environmental inputs to aviation systems are reported. The major objectives of the workshop are to satisfy such needs of the sponsoring agencies as the expansion of our understanding and knowledge of the interaction of the atmosphere with aviation systems, the better definition and implementation of services to operators, and the collection and interpretation of data for establishing operational criteria, relating the total meteorological inputs from the atmospheric sciences to the needs of aviation communities. The unique aspect of the workshop was the achievement of communication across the interface of the boundaries between pilots, meteorologists, training personnel, accident investigators, traffic controllers, flight operation personnel from military, civil, general aviation, and commercial interests alike. Representatives were in attendance from government, airlines, private agencies, aircraft manufacturers, Department of Defense, industries, research institutes, and universities. Full-length papers addressed the topics of training, flight operations, accident investigation, air traffic control, and airports. Winds and wind shear; icing and frost; atmospheric electricity and lightning; fog, visibility and ceilings; and turbulence were discussed.

This bulletin describes the new NGM-based 6-h probability forecasts of nonconvective clear-air-turbulence (CAT) for the contiguous U.S. that have been produced daily in a non-operational mode for the National Centers for Environmental Prediction's (NCEP's) Aviation Weather Center (AWC) and Hydrometeorological Prediction Center (HPC) since August 16, 1995. The new probability forecasts were designed to provide general objective guidance in the 2-26 h timeframe to forecasters at the aviation operations branch of AWC located in Kansas City, MO. AWC is responsible for issuing operational AIRMETS and SIGMETS which are inflight advisories for use by the aviation community.
