The NTSB urges the FAA to require that the National Weather Service provide a primary aviation weather product. This requirement is based on recommendations previously made in Safety Recommendation A-14-18 to the NWS.

It aims to inform pilots and aviation personnel about the associated aviation weather hazards linked to these atmospheric conditions.
