NTSB Issues Safety Recommendation A-14-018 to National Weather Service Regarding Mountain Wave Hazards

The National Transportation Safety Board has issued Safety Recommendation A-14-018, designated as WPR10GA113, addressed directly to the National Weather Service. This directive calls for the creation of a dedicated aviation weather product designed to specifically address both the potential for and the existence of mountain wave activity. The recommendation emphasizes that this new product must also cover the associated aviation weather hazards linked to such atmospheric conditions. This action aligns with Safety Recommendation A-14-14 previously directed to the Federal Aviation Administration, aiming to improve situational awareness for pilots navigating complex terrain and weather patterns.
