Abstract:A study was conducted to identify/verify weather factors important to the conduct of aviation activities and
that would be important to consider in systems intended to operate within the NextGen environment. The
study reviewed weather-information systems available for General Aviation aircraft at that time. The report
presents a listing of recognized aviation weather hazards followed by rankings, by General Aviation pilots,
of weather data elements associated with these hazards.
This is followed by a listing of pilot-accessible sources for the relevant weather data and examples of
graphical presentations of much of the data. Included is a brief listing and discussion of avionics systems
able to host these graphical data. Recommendations are provided for the presentation of weather data in the
cockpit, the incorporation of decision aids, forecasts, reliability labeling, and display strategies.
