Abstract:In the last 10 years, icing, turbulence, dangerous winds, a lack of visibility,
and other weather conditions have been cited as a cause or contributing factor
in nearly a quarter of aviation accidents. The General Accounting Office (GAO)
examined the actions FAA has taken to address the recommendations raised by NRC
and FAA's advisory committee. In this report, the GAO discusses FAA's actions
in four areas of concern raised by one report by the National Research Council
(NRC) and two reports by an FAA advisory committee: (1) policy and leadership,
(2) interagency coordination, (3) meeting different types of users' needs for
weather information, and (4) the level of funding provided for weather
activities.
