NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Require 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 121, 135, and 91K operators to revise the methodology for programming their adverse weather phenomena reporting and forecasting subsystems so that the subsystem-generated weather document for each flight contains all pertinent weather information, including Airmen‘s Meteorological Information, Significant Meteorological Information, and other National Weather Service in-flight weather advisories, and omits weather information that is no longer valid.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is asked to require operators under Parts 121, 135, and 91K to update how they program their weather reporting and forecasting subsystems. The revision should ensure that each flight's weather document includes all relevant current advisories, such as Airmen's Meteorological Information and Significant Meteorological Information, while removing weather information that is no longer valid.
This plain-language summary is written by FlightFinder to explain the recommendation above. It is not the official wording — the verbatim NTSB text is quoted above.
