Appendix A
Statement of Task
The FAA has established desired and minimal convective weather forecasting accuracy for the future air traffic control system. The workshop will
-
explore the present and future potential in meeting this stated accuracy,
-
explore the various methods of conveying the forecasts to the air traffic controller and the pilot, and
-
if it is indicated that the forecasting accuracy may not be achieved, a prospectus for a study examining what is needed to reach the FAA requirements will be generated.
