Aviation Weather Services

National Aviation Weather Services Committee, National Research Council - Organizational Body;

Adverse weather has a major impact on aviation safety and efficiency. During 1988–1992, one-fourth of all aircraft accidents and one-third of fatal accidents were related to weather (Salottolo, 1994). In addition, 41 percent of air traffic delay time during 1990 was attributable to weather. These delays accounted for approximately $4.1 billion of direct costs to the airline industry—not including the financial loss and inconvenience suffered by the traveling public (OFCM, 1992). Projected increases in air travel will tend to exacerbate the impact of adverse weather on aviation safety and efficiency. Improving aviation weather services and related research is crucial if the national airspace system is to continue meeting public expectations for safety, efficiency, affordability, and convenience.
