NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Ensure, at all automated surface weather observing sites in Alaska for which FAA is responsible, and where currently there are qualified FAA weather observers (including contract weather observers) on site, that (1) operationally significant info, including distant weather info, is manually added to automated weather observations until technological progress eliminates the need; and (2) all such info is combined and disseminated in a single aviation weather report.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The FAA is asked to require that, at its automated surface weather observing sites in Alaska where qualified FAA weather observers (including contract observers) are present, operationally significant information—including distant weather—be manually added to automated reports until technology eliminates that need, and that all such information be combined and disseminated in a single aviation weather report.
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.
