Abstract:The 2018 Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association Report stated that restricted Ceiling and Visibility (C&V) conditions contributed to a disproportionally high rate of fatal General Aviation (GA) accidents. Majority of weather accidents were cause by Visual Flight Rules (VFR) flights into Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC). Majority of accidents occurred because pilots were unaware of hazardous weather conditions prior to departure. ANG-C61 funded the Aviation Weather Demonstration and Evaluation (AWDE) Services team to conduct an assessment to determine the need for additional ceiling observations in Alaska. AWDE Services team conducted focus groups to determine the operational need for additional ceiling observations in remote Alaska locations.
