Safety recommendation
The National Transportation Safety Board has directed the Federal Aviation Administration to issue a safety advisory bulletin for air traffic controllers concerning meteorological aerodrome report remarks.
In recommendation A-14-079, identified under NTSB number DCA13MA133, the National Transportation Safety Board has issued a directive to the Federal Aviation Administration. The board is calling for the issuance of a safety advisory bulletin specifically targeted at air traffic controllers. This bulletin is intended to provide concrete examples of the types of meteorological aerodrome report remarks information that are considered pertinent to operational safety.

The goal is to ensure that vital weather data is consistently communicated to pilots via these automated systems, thereby enhancing situational awareness and safety in the terminal environment.
