Abstract:

This study presents a compilation of 24 cases involving general aviation (GA) pilots’ weather encounters over the ; continental U.S. The project team interviewed pilots who had experienced a weather encounter, and we ; examined their backgrounds, flight experience, and weather encounter details. Results from meteorological data ; analysis for each weather encounter were consistent with findings of larger GA weather accident studies in terms ; of the types of hazards encountered and flight phase during which the encounters occurred. Investigation of pilot ; weather products and the sources from which they were obtained revealed a lack of uniformity of pre-flight data ; sources and underutilization of available en route flight information services. The team used these results to ; develop a set of pilot weather education and training recommendations intended to reduce the number and ; severity of weather encounters.
