NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: AS THE DATA OBTAINED FROM THE JOINT AIRPORT WEATHER STUDIES (JAWS) PROJECT BECOME AVAILABLE (1) DEVELOP TRAINING AIDS FOR PILOTS AND CONTROLLERS TO EMPHASIZE THE HAZARDS TO FLIGHT FROM CONVECTIVE WEATHER ACTIVITY, (2) DEVELOLP REALISTIC MICROBURST WIND MODELS FOR INCORPORATION INTO PILOT FLIGHT SIMULATOR TRAINING PROGRAMS, AND (3) PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT OF AIRBORNE WIND SHEAR DETECTION DEVICES.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The NTSB asks the FAA to create training materials for pilots and controllers highlighting convective weather dangers, develop realistic microburst wind models for flight simulators, and encourage the creation of airborne wind shear detectors, using data from the Joint Airport Weather Studies project as it becomes available.
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.
