-
Attention Getter:
- Research a mishap case study:
- Discuss how the initial conditions developed into an incident/accident/mishap.
- Relate similar personal experiences of the same type of incident/accident/mishap.
- Consider incorporating a case study as a guided scenario.
-
Motivator:
- Regardless of your experience level, weather is likely to be a key factor in your decision-making process.
- A pilot's ability to find and interpret weather is essential to make well-informed decisions.
- Failure to recognize deteriorating weather conditions leads to a exceptionally high mishap and associated lethality rate.
- Weather service to aviation is a joint effort between federal agencies, the military weather services, and other aviation-oriented groups and individuals.
- The National Weather Service operates a network of radar sites for detecting coverage, intensity, and movement of precipitation.
- FAA and DOD radar sites in the western sections of the country supplement the network.
- Local warning radar sites augment the network by operating on an as-needed basis to support warning and forecast programs.
