Title:
In Cockpit Weather Info Systems - the Good, the Bad, & the Ugly!
Topic:
Weather Information Systems in the Cockpit
Brief Description:
Today's technology offers many choices of in-cockpit weather information systems. This seminar will review onboard radar, strike-finder / stormscope, and XM weather display technologies and how they operate from a high level viewpoint. It will also include the limitations and liabilities of each system. Learn to make the best inflight decisions!

The concept of providing up-to-date weather information to the flight crew on the flight deck has evolved over the years from verbal/textual transmission, to graphical weather depictions from aircraft sensors, to the capability to provide data link transmission of alerts, warnings, and planning weather graphics as required to safely complete a planned flight profile. The following definition borrowed from the NASA Aviation Safety Program provides a top-level starting point for this area of emphasis. “Weather in the Cockpit” is defined as:
“… a system combining and presenting various types of weather information obtained through multiple data-link sources, on-board remote sensors, and in-situ sensors to aid crews with effective flight management.”
New concepts—risk management and decision support (either manual or automated)—further increase the power of accessing real-time weather information in the cockpit.
Attend this interesting and informative safety briefing presented by featured speaker Joe Hood, FAA Safety Team Lead Representative. Joe will review onboard radar, strike-finder / stormscope, and XM weather display technologies and how they operate from a high level viewpoint. It will also include the limitations and liabilities of each system. Learn to make the best inflight decisions! Don't miss this opportunity to be a better and safer pilot!
