Description

The Nat. Weather Services’s (NWS) weather products are a vital component of the FAA air traffic control system. In addition to providing aviation weather products developed at its own facilities, NWS also provides staff on-site at each of FAA’s en route centers. This group of meteorologists provides air traffic managers with forecasts and briefings on regional conditions incl. turbulence, icing, and freezing precipitation. This report: (1) determines the status of NWS’s plans for restructuring the offices that provide aviation weather services at FAA’s en route centers; (2) identifies FAA’s requirements and its alternative sources for these services; and (3) evaluates both agencies’ current abilities to ensure the consistency and quality of these services.
