Why Address Ceiling & Visibility?
Efficiency Safety 121 & 135 Hi-End GA DoD Helo EMS Low/Mid GA For Common Situational Awareness - Collaborative Decision Making - Shared view.... Pilot/Control/Dispatch/FSS Tools to Assure & Improve Safety - Highly non-routine operations - Often lesser-equipped. Tools for Warning, Avoidance & Escape - VFR to IMC most deadly.
3
GA Fixed-Wing C&V Safety
Accident Record VFR to IMC & spatial disorientation. Upward trends ~ 2 deaths/accident ~ 90% are fatal Cockpit Wx can bring: Better GA VFR to IFR decisions. Enabling support for Helo EMS. 121,135 & DoD Flight Deck collaborative decision making.
