Title:
SUN n FUN 2023 Forum - Adverse Weather - Perception vs Reality
Topic:
Adverse Weather - Perception vs Reality
Speaker(s):
Dr. Ian Johnson, Danny Simms & Gary Pokodner FAA
Brief Description:
Weather-related accidents continue to result in the highest number of General Aviation fatalities each year. contribute to general aviation fatal accidents each year. In many these accidents, poor or improper pilot decision-making has been identified as a causal factor. Pilot perception of weather displays vs reality of the weather plays a vital role in their decision-making processes. Incorrect perception of weather displays could lead to pilots ignoring or misinterpreting external visual cues that require their attention and action to avoid hazardous weather. The purpose of this session is to discuss how perception vs reality could influence a pilot's inflight weather-related decision-making. We will discuss factors that affect pilot perception, influences of pilot weather perception, review accidents/incidents where the pilot relied on perception versus reality, and review tools available to identify, assess and mitigate risk.
