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.
