  1. Photo Credit: AOPA Air Safety Foundation. Ceiling and Visibility for the Cockpit Paul Herzegh Lead, FAA/AWRP National C&V Team

  2. 121 & 135 For Common Situational Awareness - Collaborative Decision Making - Shared view.... Pilot/Control/Dispatch/FSS Efficiency Hi-End GA Tools to Assure & Improve Safety - Highly non-routine operations - Often lesser-equipped. DoD Helo EMS Tools for Warning, Avoidance & Escape - VFR to IMC most deadly. - Often lesser-equipped. Low/Mid GA Safety Why Address Ceiling & Visibility?

  3. GA Fixed-Wing C&V Safety • Accident Record • VFR to IMC & spatial disorientation. • Upward trends • ~ 2 deaths/accident • ~ 90% are fatal • Cockpit Wx can bring: • Better GA VFR to IFR decisions. • Enabling support for Helo EMS. • 121,135 & DoD Flight Deck collaborative decision making.

  4. Vert. cross-section C&V Surface Grids Soon Available • ConUS Current Analysis • Ceiling, vis, flt category • User Confidence fields • Cloudy/Clear mapping • 5 km res, 5 min update • GRIB2, NetCDF • Operational next August • Analysis Input Data • METAR data • GOES satellite • Terrain • Views • Map plan • Flight path X-Section (Fall ’06) • Overlays • METARs • TAFs • VORs
