Weather Technology in the Cockpit
| 项目名称： | Weather Technology in the Cockpit |
| 摘要： | Weather information products for use in aircraft cockpits that have entered into the general aviation (GA) aircraft market over the past 10 years have the ability to provide accurate, detailed, and timely meteorological information to pilots that far exceed historical capabilities. These products have been designed and implemented with the ultimate goal of allowing pilots to make better decisions regarding their intended flight operations with respect to current and predicted weather conditions along their planned or current route of flight. There has been an expectation that this would lead to an increase in safety, as evidenced by a significant reduction in weather related accidents or incidents. Despite the proliferation of these products, initial observations are that the level of weather-related accidents and incidents has not decreased significantly. The goals of the Weather Technology in the Cockpit (WTIC) Program are to incorporate WTIC research into released Federal Aviation Administration/Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (FAA/RTCA) standards/guidance documents; improve pilot decision making relative to adverse weather; enhance crew awareness and coordination relative to turbulence; specify minimum weather service for meteorological (MET) information in cockpits; and report “National Airspace System (NAS)” inefficiencies (NextGen and current) not attributable to resolved MET information in the cockpit shortfalls. For the first phase, the WTIC Sub-Projects, core university members, and affiliate university members are organized according to the following four projects: (1) WTIC Project A: Quantifying Causality – Ohio State University (Shawn Pruchnicki, Technical Lead); (2) WTIC Project B: VFR/VMC to IMC Transition – Purdue University (Tom Carney, Technical Lead), affiliate: Western Michigan University; (3) WTIC Project C: General Aviation Weather Alerting – Texas A&M University (Tom Ferris, Technical Lead), affiliate: Western Michigan University; and (4) WTIC Project D: General Aviation MET Information Optimization – Purdue University (Barrett Caldwell, Technical Lead), affiliate: Western Michigan University. |
