This report is concerned with the use of weather information by air carriers. It ; describes the type of information obtained, the sources of that information, and the ; training provided to flight crews in the interpretation and use of weather information. ; Data from 17 major and regional airlines and seven vendors were included in this study. ; In addition, the results of a limited survey of airline pilots conducted by ALPA were ; used. ; It was found that despite the fact that a great deal of terminal en route, and forecast ; weather information is available, flight crews often receive less information than they ; would like, and much of what they receive is not timely. Examples of weather not ; provided by some companies includes station weather observations or forecasts for the ; areas of departure, en route, or destination. ; This report includes recommendations for the minimum amount and type of weather ; information that should be disseminated to airline flight crews for preflight ; briefings.
